How to Fix ANY Fridge Water Line
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 лип 2021
- My fridge destroyed my hardwood floors and there aren't any replacement parts on the market anymore. Therefore I created my own DIY fix. NO TOOLS NEEDED!
By using these water line adapters, I was able to quickly cut out the broken part of my waterline and replace it with a new section of tubing.
Although my video shows me removing my water line, you actually do not need to do that with this method. I removed mine because I thought I could buy a whole new setup but like I said, they don't sell them anymore.

My water line broke and I called for repairman but he didn't call back. I searched for videos to help fix my problem and came across yours. It cost me just over $7 for the Shark Bite Quick Connect coupling from Lowe's. Thanks for the video.
The repairman called after the fix. I told him what I did; he congratulated me and said he would have done the same thing
Just tried your method, and it worked like a charm. Thanks for the video.
Thank you. Your video was exactly what I needed. Lowes and Home Depot now have repair kits containing the hose and connectors.
Thank you for sharing. I was able to repair my fridge in few minutes after watching your clip. This is my story. After replacing the water filter on my LG refrigerator lg model # lsc23924st, one of the water lines into the fridge broke! I drove to Home Depot and picked a 5/16" union coupling. I dispensed 3 gallons of water to clean the filter, and there was no leak.
Just used that little connector to repair our broken fridge line! Love UA-cam!
Thank you! The water line was cut on our fridge so this is perfect
Awesome job! Totally impressed that you were able to find a work around for the problem. Kudos for crawling under the house and determining where the problem was. You saved a ton of money over hiring a plumber to troubleshoot and repair!!!
I feel like I can crawl into anything after that nasty cabin remodel lol. Thanks Poor Man
Great demo. Thank you
Nice work!
Amazing!! Thanks for your help!
Thank you !
Thanks for the tip
Just needed the 1/4 inch connector and had to remember to remove the inside cap.😂😂😂
I can’t thank you enough! After watching your video, I fixed our leak with a John Guest
1/4 in. x 1/4 in. White Polypropylene PTC Union from Home Depot for under $6! It look less than a minute.
But what are those lil clips he attaches? The ones you can’t even see
Thank you for the very helpful video. We bought a union coupling from Home Depot and fixed the water line leaking problem easily, without having to pay a plumber!
I had 2 pin holes in the same place and it went crazy one nite leaking and I was sure it was a roof leak. Don't know why I did not think of the sharkbite compression link. Thank you!!!
Thankyou I just got a new fridge and the delivery guys broke my pipe end taking it off the old fridge. Was worrying I’d have to run a new line. I will see if I can do this and put a new end piece on
After 4 tries, I DID it!! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Previous owner of my property had a pipe installed at the wall for piped fridge water. it has a 20mm metal pipe. the LG fridge I bought has a 10mm pipe with a 10mm to 30mm pipe adaptor... I looked and cannot find a 20mm to 10mm adaptor so I have to use the LG 30 to 10 mm then a 20 to 30mm adaptor... its super crazy LG didn't bother to just include different adaptors.
Where do you get the hose and exstenders
where do you buy the connectors? where do you buy the tubing?
I am looking for those lil clips you insert after placing the hose inside the connector. What is that? I’ve gone to several stores, they don’t know what that is
Can you please help
Thank you- i did this method and it worked for a week, now water is spraying from out of one of the connectors.
Is there another way to repair this ?
My line is a 5/16.. is there a hose that i can hose-clamp splice ?
Yea, I did the exact same thing for a 2011 Samsung fridge and at first it worked great. However, pin hole leaks kept creeping up in other areas of the water line hose. I fixed it like this with similar parts. I even put some water sensor alarms behind the fridge to detect water leakage. At first, they worked great as I had 2 more leaks & alarms went off. I was then able to shut off water early enough and repair as needed. However, after the 4th leak occurred under the fridge and didn't reach the sensors, I had to totally turn the water line off from the wall & keep it off as it was causing too many headaches. Not to mention more damage occurring in my finished basement.
A great method & solution as long as other leaks don't turn up. This is also probably due to a 12+ yr old fridge. Luckily, I have a another (Kenmore) ice making fridge in basement that works great so for now we are simply bringing ice up to the kitchen Samsung fridge cause the dispenser still works perfectly fine. I am currently researching trying to replace ALL the water lines in my Samsung fridge. Could be tricky and a hassle. Another easy option is a counter ice maker instead. Will see.
Did you end up replace your fridge line?
Where did you get the connectors?
Where can you get this line couplings??
SharkBite 1/4-in OD Push-to-Connect Coupling
We're do I get them at
Where do I find the connector?
Just watched your video so I can take water filter off my line and reconnect my refrigerator ice maker.
What are the adapters? Size of them?
What are the lil connecter clippers u used called?? Are the actually for water holes?

'plugging in to the fridge is easy,' but how do you remove? Without clip it still seems secure!
Ok, so where did you source the hose and hose fittings? That would be helpful.
I have it all linked in the description of the video
I have same issue but the connect thing I bought don’t have a clip hmm
What’s the connector called?
Im struggling to figure out how to plug the line into the wall where the valve is
Future consider just replacing it with flexible SS line. Purchase the SS line and one adapter coupler.
where can you buy the connectors?
Hey Tommy! I got mine on Amazon - amzn.to/3Yg2o7q
Did your floor level back out after it dried out or is it still warped?
It’s forever warped until I sand it and refinish. 😥
But it’s not quite as warped as it was when wet
What are these connections called?
They call them Quick Connect Tube Fittings. Usually 1/4" in size. amzn.to/3Yg2o7q
What clips? We did not have any.
I was moving my fridge to a new location and noticed the water line was attached to the fridge but we don't use the water from.the fridge. I got frustrated trying to remove the brass fitting that I ended up cutting the clesr water line.. yeah I know.. and now I am here. I need to insert one of them Teflon fittings or brass..
It would have made sense for you to just remove a 6 inch segment of the old hose, joining the old hose pieces together... forget about the new hose entirely and only create one coupling.
You make way too much sense bro...
Oh Joe don’t be a hater
It seems his water line is short, and pulling it out without disconnecting the hose, is convenient...
I don't know what you guys are talking about... he could have done without that 6 inch blue segment and gotten the job done with only one coupling. I'm not hating on him - I'm just pointing out another approach that I think would have been superior. I appreciate the video - I watched it just before I had to do a similar job.
@@joefitzy no I agree. But was just trying to put myself in his shoes
it will crack again, always us 1/4" copper
Well it's been a year now, let's check the line again.
I changed out my water filter a couple of months ago and pulled out the fridge just to check everything. Still good!
Sir can you plz tell me where to get these connectors couplings?? Thx 🙏
@@n.c.slapahoe7909 Home Depot, Lowes….
@@VuQuang1973 yea I found these super cool ones that just snap in no leaks or anything!! Awesome invention
Most new refrigerators that were made with water they will have a certain amount already called up in between protective cover in the bottom if you pull your bottom drawers out and you have clear protective cover you will be able to see the hose is about four feet in a circle you won't have to buy any new you just use what's there already stored in your refrigerator some are not see-through you have to take this protective cover off and there you'll see your extra water line it is rolled up and it has zip tie to keep it coiled up and out of the way always check before you go buy new hose like this guy did now he don't have any other use for the rest of that unless he's going to make him a water bath for the bird's.,.. yes I know a guy who did that he KNEW HE had water tube in frig so he did this an used the same connecters as this guy ... He had to surprise his wife and he did alright he hatton mopped up the water 💦 you got to have a little water when you disconnect the pipe he had it all put back he did not push the refrigerator back in place she come home from work water and her newly mop floor refrigerator out all kind of group spilt in the refrigerator because he's trying to pull it and now she had to clean her refrigerator out it was more trouble for him that the birdbath was worth to her so always use common sense if you're going to do something clean your mess up inside and outside if you really want to surprise her remark her freshly mopped and waxed floors
sorry water line adapters
LOL.. why would you replace one linear foot of tubing? Just cut out that foot of tubing and join up the parts that are still good! You wasted money buying tubing if that's all you did. Also, I just bought a connection with 5/16" - 1/4", made by John Guest, but doesn't require a little locking ring to keep it in. Home depot had it for $10.00 Canadian instead of paying for a whirlpool part $34.00+. Another place wanted $57.00 and had to order it.
I read, you should change your tubing throughout the water system in your fridge water dispenser and freezer ice cube maker every 3-5 years. No way Im doing that! LOL... They recommend getting it cleaned out with vinegar also... by someone who knows how! I have no idea how they would pump vinegar through the system. (to clear out Mold)
The reason for changing the tubing is that the tubing dries out and cracks... so, you are probably in for some more cracks! Unless you backed your fridge up and pinched the tube??? I tape my tubing up onto the back of the fridge, up off the floor!
I also had slow water from my dispenser. Found out over the last week of searching videos that it is actually because the builders of our house, Minto, put in a saddle valve on the water pipe to run a tube from, to the fridge... the water can't get through fast enough to dispense the water well. We thought it was normal...for 23 years.. LOL... just figured it out now! It was taking 45 seconds to fill a 12 ounce glass... OMG... Then I googled how long it should take and it should take about 8-10 seconds. Wayyyy faster! So, gonna change that ... maybe I'll make a video and post it! Maybe...
Hope this helps others,
Cheers..
Way over complicated all you had to do was cut off the bad section and use one coupling you have more than enough hose to make it
if you can't get this hose why in the world are you telling this? duh!
you can get the hose. I have it linked in the video description - available at Amazon
Yeah you didn't need that blue line.... Just a coupling
