home and garden home appliancesHow do you fix a leaking refrigerator water line?
- To fix the new water line in place, thread one end of the supply line to the shut off valve under the sink and tighten until it is snug in place.
- Thread the other end of the supply line to the water intake valve and tighten it until snug.
Then, how do you fix a leaky refrigerator water line?
Tighten the nut that connects the copper supply line to the back of the refrigerator. If this does not stop the leak, you will have to replace the brass ferrule underneath the nut. Turn off the water supply to the refrigerator and place an adjustable wrench on the union of the refrigerator's water inlet tube.
People also ask, why is my refrigerator water line leaking?
The refrigerator water inlet valve may be loose, faulty, or clogged. This is the valve at the back bottom of the refrigerator where the water line attaches into. This valve supplies water into your refrigerator for water and ice. If this valve is damaged, cracked, or the water line is not fully connected, it will leak.
