It could be duct door is sticking open. This a common problem. The selnoid gets rusty and sticks open. I hope this helps.

On the refrigerator and after sometime hold the condenser to see if it is hot, if it doesn't become hot then there is no refrigerant in the system there must be a leakage somewhere or it could be the compressor which is losing compression or doesn't pump well.

Hi,

Many times a freezer and/or refrigerator do not work right because of a dirty condenser coil...there are also many other things that can go wrong.
If you are hearing a clicking or buzzing then check out the last two tips.

If your refrigerator is running but warm, then...

Check out these tips that I wrote about that... it is a great place to start trouble shooting your unit...and something that you can do rather then calling a repair person to do a simple thing for you...

Clean out the drain hole with a thin flat bladed s/driver then pour some water down the hole so you no you have cleared it.

If I interpret this right you just don't know why the water keep appearing. The temp. doesn't have anything to do with it.


Your evaporator coils frost up in normal use and every eight hours or so the entire unit shuts down and the defrost heater comes on to melt the frost. This cycle last about 20 minutes. The melted frost drips into a drain pan and through a drain tube to the drain tray under the freezer/refrigerator where it's evaporated by the condenser fan.
And in case your's is stopped up...


Your drain tube may be stopped up with ice at the upper end because it drains too slow because it's stopped up at the lower end in the evaporator pan under the unit at the floor. It can get dust and mold in it. Once you get the ice out at the top a little pressure with a turkey baster will usually clear it out. Flushing it out with hot water and clorox may help.
Make sure it drains quick enough to prevent refreezing. . The drain should be located below the evaporator coils on the lower back of the freezer.

hi there.the tube your speaking about comes from the rear of the fridge down to the plactic tray on top of the compressor...and is used for conveying condensed water from the fridge to the dri tray where it is evaporated by the running heat of the comressor....excessive water can be caused by a faulty fridge door seal....door not closing correctly...and the possibility that your fridge setting is to low....or sited close to a working radiator

regards Sir Galahad

there is some thing wrong whit your door gasket, check your door gasket all around and see if is seal properly, if is broken there is places than custom make fridge gaskets. if by any chance you tuck your doors a part, may be than you dint properly adjust the door or you are missing a shim if so.
use some coins to adjust the hinges. buy placing in between the fridge body and the hinge.
place a piece of paper on the fridge and close the door it shut hold the paper all the way around the door.
Good luck :)

OK. the friedge is goint off due to low thermostate level, up the level of thermostate n c the prob will solve....

good luck

It looks like your model doesn't have an internal filter. Not all of them do, and if you want to filter the water you add an external unit fixed to the wall. https://www.google.com/search?q=Hotpoint+CSX24GR+replace+filter There is a number of models that start CSX24 this is the 24X and says it is an optional extra. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/690660/Hotpoint-Csx24x.html?page=12&term=Water+Filter&selected=1#manual ..

In some cases the board and or adaptive defrost board may be located on the back of fridge. there will be a plte covering it, as for evaporator coild they cnnot be covered in insulation but will have a plastic cover that has to be removed to get to them. u wont have a timer if u hve an adaptive defrost board. as per utr problem sounds like a defrost issue, in which case check heating element, defrost terminator, and make sure evap fan is working also, lastly check manual timer by setting it to defrost , wait 30 minutes then check to see if ithe fridge ts back on showing timer is working. if its adaptive board instead of timer you need specil tools to check it. Also check to make sure compressor stays on during cycle and not clicking isound n back? see pics

Does the problem move with the drawer when you shuffled them or did it do the same thing in the same position? If it moved it's the drawer causing the issue, if it stayed in the same place it's the freezer itself. Empty the offending drawer and have a good look at it. A lot of front panels on freezer drawers are a 'push on' fit so check the front is clipped on correctly on both sides. Next check the runner rails and back panel of the area that drawer goes into. It might be something as simple as a lump of ice or something stuck to the side/back or a something in the drawer above or below blocking it.

unplug it, empty it and defrost it then restart. This sometimes fixes the problem.

yes . it sounds like the main board . the clicking would be the relay that starts compressor ... change the main board .. mm feed back pls . with a model # i can give you part # & price .

go online using make and model and order replacement

Yes, you can disconnect the ice maker on a Hotpoint CTX21GA refrigerator. Here are the general steps to follow:

1. Unplug the refrigerator from the electrical outlet or turn off the power at the circuit breaker.
2. Locate the water supply line that runs from the back of the refrigerator to the ice maker. It is typically a flexible plastic or copper tube.
3. Find the valve where the water supply line connects to the refrigerator. It may be located behind a panel or cover.
4. Turn off the water supply to the refrigerator by closing the valve. You may need to turn it clockwise to shut it off.
5. Disconnect the water supply line from the valve by loosening the compression nut or other connector.
6. Locate the ice maker inside the freezer compartment. It is usually mounted on the back wall or ceiling.
7. Unplug the ice maker's electrical connector by pulling it out of the socket.
8. Remove any screws or mounting brackets that hold the ice maker in place and gently pull it out of the freezer compartment.
9. If you wish to permanently remove the ice maker, you can disconnect the wiring harness and remove the mounting bracket.
10. If you plan to reconnect the ice maker in the future, you can leave the wiring harness connected and store the ice maker in a safe place.
11. Reconnect the water supply line to the valve and turn the water supply back on.
12. Plug the refrigerator back in or turn the power back on at the circuit breaker.
