Crosley CS22CFXTB00 side-by-side refrigerator Parts

Yes. On your Crosley CS22CFXTB00 side-by-side refrigerator, we recommend DIY replacement for many non-sealed-system parts (bins, shelves, bulbs, ice and water components) as long as you unplug the refrigerator and shut off the water supply first; sealed-system and refrigerant repairs should be handled by a technician.

Good DIY repairs vs. technician-only repairs

Here is a practical way to decide what you can replace yourself.

• Good DIY: light bulbs, door hardware, shelves and pans, ice maker assemblies, water valves and tubing
• Usually DIY with care: door closing parts (cams), thermostats and defrost safety parts (requires basic electrical testing)
• Technician-only: compressor, condenser, refrigerant lines, capillary tube, any repair that opens the sealed refrigerant system

Examples of DIY-friendly parts for CS22CFXTB00

Symptom	Common DIY part to check/replace	Example part on this model page
No ice or slow ice production	Ice maker assembly	Refrigerator ice maker WPW10190965
No water at dispenser or ice maker	Water inlet valve	Refrigerator water inlet valve W10408179
Door not closing smoothly	Door cam	Refrigerator door cam (black) WP2182179
Frost buildup or defrost issues	Defrost bi-metal	Refrigerator defrost bi-metal WPW10225581

Safe DIY checklist (do these every time)

• Unplug the refrigerator before removing panels, bulbs, switches, or wiring-connected parts.
• Shut off the household water supply before replacing any water line, valve, or reservoir.
• Protect floors; keep towels handy for water in lines and the reservoir.
• Take a photo of wire connectors and tube routing before disconnecting anything.
• Use the model number CS22CFXTB00 when matching parts to avoid fit issues.

Why it matters

Replacing the right “bolt-on” part can restore cooling, ice, or water performance quickly and safely. Sealed-system repairs involve refrigerant handling and specialized tools; attempting those repairs can turn a fixable problem into a major failure.

In a Crosley CS22CFXTB00 side-by-side refrigerator, the most commonly replaced parts are typically the water and ice system components, temperature control parts, and defrost and airflow parts. These items wear out from normal use, mineral buildup, door slamming, and icing conditions.

Commonly replaced parts (and what they affect)

• Water inlet valve: controls water flow to the dispenser and ice maker (leaks, no water, weak flow)
• Ice maker parts: stop ice production or cause small, hollow, or clumped cubes
• Temperature control parts: cause warm fridge, freezing in fresh food, or wide temperature swings
• Defrost parts: cause frost buildup on the evaporator and reduced cooling
• Door closing and sealing parts: cause moisture, frost, and longer run times
• Shelves and bins: crack from load stress or impact

Model-relevant examples you can order for CS22CFXTB00

Here are examples of commonly replaced items that are available for this model.

Symptom	Common part to check/replace	Example part on this model
No water at dispenser or no ice	Water inlet valve	Refrigerator water inlet valve W10408179
Ice maker not making ice	Ice maker assembly	Refrigerator ice maker WPW10190965
Frost buildup, warm temps	Defrost thermostat (bi-metal)	Refrigerator defrost bi-metal WPW10225581
Temperature won’t hold steady	Cold control thermostat	Refrigerator thermostat WP2198202
Door won’t close smoothly	Door cam	Refrigerator door cam (black) WP2182179

Quick troubleshooting checks before you buy a part

• Confirm the temperature settings; typical targets are 37°F for fresh food and 0°F for freezer.
• Check door seal contact all the way around; a dollar-bill pull test helps spot gaps.
• Look for frost on the freezer back panel; heavy frost often points to a defrost problem.
• If water is slow, verify the shutoff valve is fully open and the supply line is not kinked.
• If the unit is noisy or warm, clean condenser coils and make sure airflow around the cabinet is clear.

Why it matters

Replacing the right “high-wear” part first (like a water inlet valve, thermostat, or defrost bi-metal) restores normal cooling and prevents secondary issues such as ice buildup, water leaks, and excessive compressor run time.

On a Crosley side-by-side refrigerator like model CS22CFXTB00, the model number is typically printed on the serial plate inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment. Open the refrigerator door and look along the interior side wall, ceiling area, or near the crisper drawers for a label with the model and serial numbers.

Where to look first (fast checklist)

• Inside the refrigerator compartment on a white or silver serial plate
• Left or right interior wall near the front edge
• Ceiling area near the light housing
• Around the crisper pan area (above or beside the drawers)
• On the cabinet frame just behind the door gasket line

What the label looks like

Most Crosley refrigerator ID labels include:

• Model number (for example, CS22CFXTB00)
• Serial number
• Electrical ratings (volts/amps)
• Sometimes a bar code

Why it matters

We use the exact model number to match the correct diagrams and replacement parts for your refrigerator. Even small model-number differences can change which parts fit, especially for ice maker and water system components.

Common parts that depend on the exact model

If you are troubleshooting or ordering parts, having the model number helps us match items like these:

System	Example part on this model page	What it affects
Water supply	Refrigerator water inlet valve W10408179	Water dispenser flow, ice maker fill
Ice production	Refrigerator ice maker WPW10190965	Ice harvest and refill cycles
Temperature control	Refrigerator thermostat WP2198202	Cooling consistency and cycling
