CSF22MBB Hotpoint Refrigerator - Instructions

Why don't they just tell you that you have to buy 2 cams. I have now replaced the cams on both doors. The other door broke about 4 years ago. Fortunately the first time I read the user commetns or I would've bought just one. It is a quick easy fix. The longest step is drilling out and replacing the rivet. Everything else is done with a nut driver.

Replaced the old cams with new ones, door works perfect now.

Remove screw at hinge cover, top of door.
Remove two screw/nuts at hinge and remove hinge while holding door in place.
Lift door off of lower hinge
remove two nut/screws at bottom of door and replace closing cam. Be sure the pivot pin hole in the cam is lined up with the hole in door.

Next drill out rivet holding cam to lower hinge on the refer. Install cam with a pan head screw and nut (to replace rivet). It will help if you remove the plastic grille cover at the bottom of the frige.

Set door back on the lower pin and shut so the the magnetic strip holds the door in place. Re-install the upper hinge loosely. Adjust the door for an even gap and tighten the screw/nuts. Re-install the cover.

A very easy fix.

The bottom of the door was 5 " off the floor. A 2x4 block and a 4x4 block were pushed under the door and supported it while the water line was disconnected the hinge removed and the cam replaced. It was a simple fix and reading other people's experience made the repair so much easier.

removed broken shelf two screws - replaced with new shelf two screws

Just replaced the drawer slide. The thing that amazed me was the speed I received the part, I ordered it on sunday night and it was delivered tuesday afternoon, great job.

Your vidio was Brilliant !!i just followed your instructions

I did not realize I needed 2 cams to complete repair. Door cam was riveted in. I had to drill out rivet and replace with nut and bolt. Otherwise it went quite sommothly. At first I just replaced the cam on bottom of refridgerator but door was not quite right when closing. Further inspection showed the door had the other half of cam that also needed replacement. Needed 2 orders. Paid for 2 shippings.

Removed the two existing screws and removed the broken drawer slide. Screwed the new, exact duplicate back into place. Less than five minutes to eliminate the six months of hassle I've put up with having the broken slide. So easy I'm embassed to even brag about fixing something.

Looked at the broken part. Thought, "Oh darn. I don't want to pay a repairman to do that simple thing. I wonder if I can get a part on the internet?" Looked and found your site. It was easy to use. It told me everything I needed to do, even where to find the model number. Simple! I easily found the part number on your site and ordered. Part came a couple of days later. I undid the old screws---2 of them. Cleaned the area behind the old rail. Screwed in the new rail with the same 2 screws, and voilà, all fixed.

Took the door contents out and put them on the counter, took the door off the hinges by unscrewing the 2 screws on the top of the Fridge and lifting the door off the hinge onthe bottom. Then laid down the Fridge on the kitchen floor and replaced the Door Closing Cam, keeping in mind the order of the 3 shims and other things on the bottom of the door. Simple.

removed the door, installed the cam riser, and reattached the door. It took longer to remove the contents in the door than it did to install the cam riser.

Removed screws and installed new slide.

I followed the directions on the computer and everything went just as the video said it would. This was one of the easiest repairs I have ever done. Usually, it does not go as planned.

Removed the door and loosened the bottom bracket and scraped the old cam off. Mounted new cam and tightned the bracket. Replaced door and it was a total sucess.
