Our 10 year old Hotpoint fridge (freezer) side-by-side still looked great but was having defrost issues as well as door swing issues on the fridge side. Thanks to parts from APP my son and I were able to install a new defroster and thermostat as well as replace the lower hinge assembly on the fridge side door. The unit is almost like new again and we calculate an $1800 savings when considering the cost of a new unit.
