CSF22TBG Hotpoint Refrigerator - Instructions

Took out the broken one and replaced it with the new one.

I ordered a cam riser for the refrigerator door. I watched the "how to" video the day I ordered the part. It took about a week to get the part, but I was ready when it arrived. The 'how to' video was a big help. It showed me how to take off the door and replace the part. The process was quite simple! Oh! Don't forget to turn the refrigerator on again!

The replacement part came with a one page instruction sheet. Following those instructions I cut the two hoses on the old resivour and removed it. I then cut the hoses on the new resivour to desired length (all inside the refrigerator). Using the two couplers provided with the new resivour I hocked the two hoses together and tightened them with a wrench. It took longer to clean the refrigerator than it did to replace the part. Instruction sheet was very helpful

Replacement part shipped to me the next day and was installed using the existing screws. I am very happy to see GE Appliace Parts available through PartSelect. The order process was very user friendly. Can't wait to use your website again.

Using the #2 Phillips screwdriver I removed the top hinge cover from the top of the freezer door. Next I used the 5/16 nut driver to remove the 2 bolts holding the top hinge in place. Once it was removed I was able to lift the door off the bottom hinge. Placing the door on a flat work surface I loosened the bottom bolt holding the cam in place. I next removed the bolt holding the hinge in place. I was then able to remove the broken cam and replace it with the new one. I then replaced the bottom bolt making sure the hole for the cam and the hole for the hinge are lined up. I then tightened the bottom hinge bolts. I carefully placed the door back on the bottom hinge and put the top hinge back on.

Pretty simple, just take out 2 screws and replace.

Empty door first then take a phillip heads screw driver and unscrewed the top hinge cover 1 screw. Then used 5/16 nut driver to loosen top hinge from fridge. remove door by lifting and then lay on table to replace the lower washer that is held in by 2 screws and you only need to loosen one all the way leaving one in to align then replace and tighten it up your done.

Watched the video supplied by manufacturer and followed the instructions. Very easy.

Followed Partselect video on how to replace cam riser. Very, very helpful!

when I got on your site I was able to find the part easily & your installation video was a big help. It fit perfectly & was very easy to install--it's working great!!!!!thank you so much

I watched the you tube video. Very easy! the part was easy to order came earlier that expected and was fixed in less than 5 minutes!

Unscrew 2 screws to remove broken part, screw in new.

Ordered part on line, arrived the next day. Looked at the screw (phillips head). Had trouble dropping screws but got our magnetic phillips head and it worked like a charm. So proud of myself as my husband did not have to do a thing.

Best for 2 people on this repair as 1 person needs to hold the door and the other position the bottom pin in place on reassembly. On my side by side I was replacing the cam on the cold food side, not the freezer. But I got down and inspected both the broken cam and the cam on the side that wasn't broken to understand how the parts fit together. Each door has 2 cams that work/fit together. So be sure the one you are replacing is installed properly (flat side towards the door body). Remove all contents from inside door including the shelves. Use a phillips screwdriver to remove the cover plate on the top hinge. Use tape or a marker to mark on the refrigerator top a corner of where the bracket is positioned, for proper placement on reassembly. While someone is holding the door, remove the 2 bolts from the top bracket (or the back one is just loosened so bracket can be moved out of the way). Lift door off the bottom pin. Turn the door on its side to expose the bottom bracket. There should be 2 bolts here. The furthest one from the pin only needs to be loosened. The other bolt will need to be removed but as you do this be sure to not let the other 2 metal pieces fall out. Remove the broken cam and replace with the new part. Realign the parts and bracket over the pin rod hole and tighten both bolts. Replace the door onto the bottom pin. Then add top bracket and align it to the marking and screw back in these 2 bolts. Test door for any needed adjustments (I had none). Then replace the top bracket cover with its screw. Voila! Clean the shelves and put them in the door and fill them up. :-)

Took door off. Replaced two cams at bottom of door, referencing those on the bottom of the freezer door. Also followed a video on the net. Worked like a jewel!
