CTX18EFC Hotpoint Refrigerator - Instructions

First of all, I was very surprised and pleased that I could even locate the replacement part for such a refrigerator I've had for years. The two crisper pan covers arrived the next day (couldn't believe the fast delivery). I proceeded to take the broken crisper covers off and replace them with the two new ones, which fit perfectly. I then slid the crispers into the slots so they could slide in and out. It took me less than five minutes to do. No tools required.

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

You sent me a new crisper cover and it was a perfect fit. Thank you for repairing my frig. so quickly..

I simply removed the broken drawer and replaced (inserted) the new one.

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

Noticed the fan was not working properly and went online and found out that was the cause. I immediately ordered the part that night at 8:21pm and received the motor and fan blade the next day. I flipped the refrigerator on its side and removed the 3 hex bolts, took off the fan blade first and removed the wires from the motor. I put in the new motor and then added on the new blade and put the 3 hex bolts back on and the wires. The whole process took about 30 minutes. Piece of cake.

per your instructions

repalaced the old one with the new one. easy

I had wasted 5-6 weeks waiting for SEARS to send me the CORRECT Part. They kept sending the wrong part, telling me that the right one would be sent "THE NEXT WEEK" & Then finding out that the CORRECT ONE was on BACK ORDER with NO KNOWN DATE of shipment in Sight! So I looked up the part on the Internet. FOUND PartSelect & THEY found the CORRECT PART(That was on Saturday) with in 3 days... I had the PART! PLUS the Part arrived in GREAT SHAPE-NOT SO WITH SEARS which came with the packaging ALL TORE UP & THE GASKET was half out of the box and BADLY RUMPLED UP! PARTSELECT had very helpful instructions on their site & Over the Phone helped me do it in little or no time at all! I did remove the 2 screws at the bottom or the door-VERY EASY!!! atwhich time I saw that I also needed 2 nylon washers(I had several on hand!) Removing the whole door is not necessary, but in my case I FOUND the very worn washers & Was able to replace them too!... Now the door moves alot easier! PLUS: with the door off, I could do(replace the metal strips)on the Bottom & Inside gasket EASIER!... I WILL NEVER get partsfrom Sears again & ALL of my future Parts Purchases will be from PARTSELECT! I am VERY IMPRESSED & HIGHLY RECOMMEND PARTSELECT!

I followed the instructions verbatim as others explained. I did it step by step exactly as instructed, The timing was almost exact no more than 30 minutes. I removed the fan the night before the delivery of the new fan and used a small desk fan to cool the compressor. It worked fine in one half hour my freezer read a perfect zero. Thanks for all the help

Checked the defroster coil which is located behind the rear panel in the freezer compartment, it was still working. Followed the schematics down to the defrost timer, which is located in the lower front of the refrigerator and tried that. Plugged in the new part and the problem is solved.
