CSK22GABEAA Hotpoint Refrigerator - Instructions

Replaced the gasket and the hinge assembly. Replaced the hinge assembly on the freezer door as well since it was worn. YOU DO NOT NEED A DREMEL to cut anything. People doing that are trying to save $10 but don't do it. Just order the hinge assembly. It comes with the loose cam riser and the second cam riser that is attached to the hinge. DON'T CUT ANYTHING. Super easy. I prepped the door for the hinge replacement the night before. Removed fridge magnets, etc. Moved everything from inside the door to the shelves. Got home from work (package was there in two days, fast) and it took 5 minutes for the Fresh Food Door hinge replacement. Removed hinge cover, removed 4 hex screws (two on top and two on bottom). Swapped hinge and cam. Be sure to use the cam that came with the hinge. Always replace in pairs. Freezer was more tricky. Turned off water. Had to remove a clip (small phillips head screw) on the white tubing. Unscrewed plastic nut. Pulled off spring from tubing. Set spring, nut, and clip with screw aside. Removed hinge cover, unplugged electronics, removed 4 hex screws (two on top and two on bottom). Swapped hinge and cam. Super easy.

Watched PartSelect video and did exactly as video said. Had finished product in less than 30 minutes.6 bolts and one screw.

Followed the video to replace bottom hinge assembly. The only hiccup was that the video instruction was for the fridge side door, so there wasn't step by step instruction for dealing with the electrical connection at the top of door or the water line at the bottom. However, it was simple enough to figure out. Replacement took about 20-25 mins.

Removed top hinge, lifted door from bottom post. Removed post with nut driver/socket, removed corresponding bracket/receiver from door. Attached new parts to refrigerator base and bottom edge of door. Was careful to replace part pieces in the same order as original, and secured tightly. Lifted door onto bottom hinge post, leveled the door and replaced top hinge.

shimed the door up to its proper level. removed plastic cam from bottom of door with a socket disconnected the water line fitting and clamp. with a nut driver removed the hinge assy from cabinet being careful i sled the hinge assy off the plastic water line being sure not to kink the line, sled the new hinge assy back on the water line and mounted the new hinge assy to the cabinet and connected the water line back up and turned on the water and checked for leaks, all went well. place the bottom grill cover back on.

Followed directions in your video. Very helpful. Be certain to pay strict attention to how old part is removed. Had a little trouble replacing door on lower pin/hinge. Helps to have a little assistance. Good suggestion from another customer: get the kit.

like the video showed!

-empty door of food - remove top hinge-open door and lift upward-remove lower hinge assembly-add new part to lower hinge assembly- put door back on lower hinge pivot- close door line up door parallel with other door- replace upper hinge

I followed thevideo. It was very straight forward.

Removed top hinge cover and screws. Lifted door off bottom hinge and replaced bottom hinge assembly.

I did exactly as the video instructed. Removed the top hinge bracket. Removed the door. Replaced the parts on both the door and the freezer, taking care to save and re-install the shims. I put the door back in place and installed the top hinge. I also lubed the hinge pins with very light grease. The door now works perfectly.

Part was received quickly and quickly installed-Thank you

I removed the lower cover plate and placed a small scissor jack (used my car jack) under the refrigerator door, loosened the upper hinge, slightly raised jack to take the weight off of the lower hinge, removed the hinge with a 5/16 nut driver and the cam with a 5/16 socket. Installed new hinge and cam, removed door support and secured top hinge, check operation. Worked GREAT, did not have to remove door.

I replaced the cam. The video was really helpful telling me the steps and the tools that would be needed ahead of time. Took about 5 minutes because of the video vs It would have taken me 30 - 40 minutes if I didn't.

Removed the door, removed old hinge, aligned the new one. Replaced door, then adjusted the door so that it lined up correctly and had same size gape top and bottom between the double doors. Tightened up all bolts and screws and made sure door opened and closed properly. Watched the video that was available to show how to replace hinge correctly. This helped a lot.
