Hotpoint Parts

Light Bulb - 40W This 40-Watt light bulb is sold individually and is a genuine OEM replacement option for your home appliances. It is specially designed to withstand extreme temperatures, so this bulb is compatible with a variety of appliance types including refrigerators, ranges, microwaves, and dryers. It features a frosted glass bulb with a standard metal socket base, which allows you to easily unscrew the burnt-out light and twist the new bulb into place. Depending on your appliance, there may be a guard or cover protecting the lightbulb, in which case you may require additional tools to remove the cover. We recommend disconnecting the power supply to your appliance before changing the lightbulb.

4 Reviews

The ice maker assembly makes ice by filling the tray with water from the inlet valve, freezing it until solid cubes are formed, and then ejecting them into the ice bucket. This process will repeat until the bucket has reached capacity. If your fridge is no longer making ice, the assembly may need to be replaced. This is a genuine OEM replacement that measures 10 inches by 5 inches in size and will make seven crescent shaped pieces of ice each cycle. The kit is mainly made of white plastic, and includes a 4-pin round plug-in connector, a 6-post plug-in connector, tube, and fill cup. Depending on your frequency of use, the ice maker may need to be replaced every three to ten years. Regular wear and tear is the main reason this part may need to be replaced but be mindful of accidental damage.

Light Switch The light switch in your refrigerator is used to turn the light on and off when the fridge door opens or closes. This is considered a closed switch, which means that when the fridge door depresses the button there is no continuity and the light turns off. When the fridge door opens and the button is released, there is continuity, and the light turns on. If the light in your fridge is not burned out but will not come on, the switch may need to be replaced. This genuine OEM replacement light switch is spring loaded and made of a white plastic. This is an easy repair that will require a flat blade screwdriver and a pair of needle nose pliers to complete the job. Since you will be working with electrical components, please be sure to disconnect the power supply to your fridge before beginning this repair.

Temperature Sensor

★★★★★

★★★★★

1 Review

The temperature sensor, also referred to as a thermistor, is used to monitor the refrigerator and freezer internal temperatures. The sensor is a small capsule like device that is protected by a white plastic casing. The sensor sends the temperature reading to the control board, which uses this information to turn on the compressor and fan circuits. If this part is malfunctioning it may inaccurately signal the control board to turn off these components, resulting in warmer than normal temperatures in the fresh food and freezer sections. This part can break from material fatigue through normal use, and will need to be replaced when this happens. You will find this part attached to the evaporator and control housing in your appliance. This OEM part measures roughly 1.25 inches with 18-inch long wire leads. For this repair, you will need a 1/4 inch nut driver, a pair of strippers and crimpers, and a pair of wire splice connectors.

EVAPORATOR FAN MOTOR This is an evaporator fan motor, located in the freezer compartment. It is sold as a single unit. It is responsible for moving air over the evaporator coils as the compressor is running. When this part is faulty you may hear loud sounds coming from the freezer area, your refrigerator may not stay as cold as normal, or the ice might take longer to freeze. This 115-volt 60Hz evaporator fan motor measures approximately 6.75 inches deep, 3.25 inches wide and 2.5 inches high. Do not forget to disconnect the power to the refrigerator before you begin this repair.

BELT DRIVE

★★★★★

1 Review

This 89.5-inch drive belt is for dryers. It has a 4-rib design on the inside for a better grip. If comparing the size of your current belt to the new one, keep in mind that a small amount of stretching and contortion will occur over time, and this belt will fit despite small inaccuracies. You will find this part wrapped all the way around the dryer drum, around a tension pulley, and around the drive motor pulley. This allows the parts to work together to spin the drum as the motor rotates. A common symptom of a broken drive belt is a drum that will not turn. This part is prone to wear and tear over time and will likely stretch or become brittle, leading to complete breakage of the part. The drum cannot spin without a drive belt, so it needs to be replaced immediately. For this repair, we recommend wearing work gloves to protect your hands from sharp edges, disconnect the power, remove the main panel, and access the motor drive to secure the new belt in place.

Crisper Drawer Cover

★★★★★

★★★★★

1 Review

The crisper drawer cover contains the rails that your crisper drawers slide in and out on, as well as acting as a shelf to store other items in your fridge. If your drawers are difficult to open and close, or the cover has any visible signs of damage, it should be replaced so that your crispers continue to function as intended. This is an easy repair that does not require any tools. Simply remove the crisper drawers, then lift out the cover. Place the new cover in the fridge, and reinstall the crisper drawers. Carefully check to ensure that your fridge door will close properly, and you are all set. Please note that this part may look different than the original one you are replacing, but it is a genuine OEM part that will work with your refrigerator. The crisper drawer cover is made of plastic and is white in color.

Drum Bearing Slide - White

★★★★★

★★★★★

1 Review

This single drum bearing slide attaches to the outer-most side of the bearing. This part is also sometimes referred to as a drum slide, drum glide, or drum pad. It provides support to the front of the drum as it rotates. They are approximately 3-inches long, 1 inch wide and made from a durable white plastic. If your appliance starts making unusual sounds, is not drying clothes properly, or leaves marks on clothes, it may be time to replace this part. The dryer has 2 slides, which we recommend replacing at the same time, as they tend to wear out at the same rate. You will need to order 2 of this part to replace both drum bearing slides, since it is sold individually. Before you begin this repair, be sure to disconnect the power to the dryer.

Evaporator Fan Grommet - Red The evaporator fan grommet is used to provide a cushion between the fan motor and the motor mounting bracket in your freezer. This genuine OEM part is about one inch in diameter and is red in color. It is part of the motor assembly found behind the evaporator fan cover at the back of your freezer. If the fan has become quite noisy, it may be time to replace the grommet. To complete this repair, you will need to remove everything from the freezer including the ice tray, the fan cover, freezer floor, evaporator cover, and the fan motor assembly. The tools you will need for this job include a pair of needle nose pliers, a Philips screwdriver and a small flat blade screwdriver, along with a 1/4-inch and a 5/16-inch nut driver. Please ensure that you disconnect the power supply to your fridge before you begin this repair.
