CTT18EABSRWW Hotpoint Refrigerator - Instructions

Removed old one lined up drawers, wonderful, great company to buy from and do business with, thank you

I disconnected the old defrost heater removing 2 small screws and the electrical connectors, afterward I attached the new part, reconnecting back the electrical connectors and screwing the removed 2 screws.

I didn’t do the repair because I ordered two grommets. When they arrived, one of the packages was empty! Instead of just sending me another one, they refunded the part so I still need one. By the way, I was not refunded half the shipping either which was more than the part itself.

Separately (from a different site) purchased new compressor fan and motor. I purchased the grommets here because the other site listed the grommets as temporarily out of stock. I did watch one of the videos on PartSelect about the grommet replacement. Repair was pretty simple, biggest challenge was getting to the screw on the far side of the motor. Removed the two screws holding the fan motor into place. Removed motor and blade. Reinstalled with new fan blade, new grommet and new motor.

Unplugged the refrigerator then used the cordless drill to remove the 6 screws on the access panel on the back of the fridge to be able to get to the fan. Was able to pull the fan off by hand and push the new fan on by hand. Plugged the refrigerator by in and watched the fan run for a few minutes then replaced the access panel. Really quick and easy repair.

I simply slipped in the new drawer cover and put the drawers in. So easy!

removed bins ......removed cover .....replaced with new cover....replced bins back .....done !

Simple. Rolled the refrigerator out , unplugged the 120 volts AC outlet.(1) Unplugged the wiring from the cabinet to the fan (white (three pin connector)). (2) Removed the two 5/16 inch screws holding the rear motor bracket . (3) Removed the fan blade from the motor shaft by applying slight pressure, pulling if off the old motor shaft. (4) removed the rubber isolator from the frame and from the rear of the old motor. (5) placed the rubber isolators back on the motor and frame. (6) Pushed the new motor back into the frame and re-installed the fan assembly. (7) remounted the fan with the rear support and the two 5/16 inch screws. Reconnected the three wire connector. Just checked the fan blade assembly to make sure they were not hitting the fan shroud. Fan blades should sit just partially inside the shroud to make sure it produces maximum airflow.
(8) Reconnected the 120 volt AC and waited for the compressor to cycle back on... Nice quite fan... Thanks

I lifted old one out and place new one in

Took out vegetable draws, removed old cover and put in new vegetable pan cover. Then put back drawers.

Easy

Removed all of the stuff on the shelf, then I removed the two vegetable drawers, then I removed the cracked shelf and installed the new.

Removed the old cracked shelf and slipped in the new one. Fit perfectly. Should have done this years ago !!!!

I'm not at all techie, but your site made it easy for me to find the part I needed. The part arrived within 2 days, and walla I installed and all is good.

Thanks, I only wish every internet search was this easy.

The new one not only arrived faster than I expected but it was also a lot sturdier, nice shape and the fridge looks cleaner. Also it offers better support for what I store right on it.
