All Installation Instructions for Hotpoint Refrigerator CTF17CCC

The Fresh Food Section Door Gasket of My VERY OLD Refrigerator was SHOT! SEARS messed me up for MONTHS!

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!

Compressor fan bearing worn. Refrigerator was manufactured 9/78/

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

The old crisper pan cover cracked a year or so ago and I threw it away

I opened the refrigerator door, slid the new crisper tray in and I was "in business! You are awesome! The refrigerator is 31 years old and I gave up trying to find parts in Seattle and decided to check on the internet.Thank you. It was all so easy!

The crisper pan covers (which is also the bottom shelf) cracked and broke in several places.

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.

failed light switch

I started removing the switch by prying on the right side with a screwdriver, when it emerged enough I used pliers to finish removing it. I then unpluged rhe wires from the bad switch and pluged them on the new switch and "poped" it into the hole.
