CTX18EABQRWW Hotpoint Refrigerator - Instructions

Frig parts had been scavenged in an apartment complex. Restoring socket was only a matter of plugging in two spade contacts and clipping in socket.

I found a replacement evaporator fan motor and 2 mounting bracket grommets at PartSelect.com at a reasonable price. I watched the installation video provided and installed the new parts as shown in the video start to finish installation time 22 minutes.i

Just as your video described, although due to the age of the fridge, it took a bit longer to remove the defective switch. Your video made this so simple, I can't imagine why we lived with a dark fridge for so long! I was ready to buy a whole new fridge, as repairmen are often nonexistent for small repairs. I am the biggest fan of your company & it's repair video. THANK YOU SO MUCH

The bracket arrived promptly after ordering by telephone and snapped into place easily.

Using plyers Pulled old switch down and out. Put new one in and pushed new switch up into position. The switch plugs into the contacts, no wiring needed. Worked like a charm. You saved me 200 dollars GE repair bill. Thanks

My experience with PartSelect was excellent. My main concern was ordering the right gasket. First, I found the model number on the inside of the refrigerator. I ran model number on PartSelect and the compatible gasket came up. I removed old gasket carefully pulling it out. I cleaned around the groove that holds the gasket in and where the gasket lays. I boiled water and put it in a cake pan. I warmed up the gasket and smoothed and straighten it out. I started in each corner of the gasket and then worked from each corner pushing it carefully into the holding groove. Took me about 25-30 minutes. It seems to be working great!

take fan out,put new in

per your instructions

Emptied freezes, turned off power, took floor of freezer out [4 screws ], took two screws out of fan mounts and replaces fan. Reassembled by reverse process. Simple

First, read through blogs which said it could be something frozen up. I unplugged and let it warm for a few days. Didn't work. No ice found. Then, assumed to be thermostat. Unplug frig. One screw removes cover, then another 2 screws to take out thermostat compartment. Unplug wires from harness and remove. Simply put in the new thermo (reverse from removal), and reassemble. Bingo, nice and cool within 12 hr. Rock solid 35F ever since. Pretty simple.

Soaked the new gasket in warm/hot water and snapped it on without any hassels. Thank you also for the fast delivery!

We bought the side door retainer strip with the hope we could simply cut it to length and it would be the solution for the top/bottom retainer strip not available.. The problem was the holes for the flathead screws on the door bottom do not match the pattern of the holes on the side retainer. This meant we had to mark and drill new holes carefully on a drill press and then cut the piece to fit. After that it was no problem at all to screw it back to door and install the new gasket. Sure wish the top/bottom retainer strips were in stock somewhere.

took door off removed old gasket which was the hardest part of whole job put new gasket in place pressed into grove and rehang door need something to hold door up in place to reattach.

Gently pry out switch in door jam with screwdriver and pull both connectors off and put connectors on new switch then push switch back into the hole. Looked it up on the internet and video showed how to and also had link to new part, ordered and less than a week later the fridge is bright again. I have an older freezer also and it seems that they all use the same switches. Very Very easy

Just snapped in the replacement. 15 second repair. I was not completely sure that I had the right one ordered. There were two choices. I selected one and it worked fine.
