Thank you so much for this video. I fixed the water dispenser just following your directions. In my case, it was only the valve, it was out of place after the pressure generated when I changed the water filter.
That’s great! I’m glad you were able to fix it!
@@TryThisDIYFix I literally just had this same exact problem and just fixed it after finding this video! I had found others using other models, but was happy to find yours to see how to get my particular panel out of the way. Thank you for this! Always happy to have a simple fix.
@@JessInTheBox522 awesome! I’m glad it helped!
Thank you so much for such a clear explanation on how to remove the cover and disconnect the wires. This is by far the best explanation I’ve found and helped me fix my fridge by myself. Mine actually popped out - it was a lot of plastic connectors and had to be popped out a side at a time.

This video was really helpful. Our fridge dispenser tube wasn’t aligned well and I used this video to figure out how to remove the front panel and all I had to do was to realign the tube back in the dispenser hole and it’s working perfectly!! It took me about 10 minutes.
Wow! That’s awesome! I’m glad it helped!
Thank you so much. Your video not only saved me money but a tremendous amount of time. So easy. Thanks again.

Thank you for this video. It’s been the most helpful one I found so far. I turn the heat down as low as I could in the house so that the pipes wouldn’t freeze but also the heat wouldn’t be running constantly while I was on vacation. It took a day or two even after I had gotten back before the ice had built up in the line or a chunk of ice became dislodged and obstructed the waterline completely. I thought maybe my solenoid had gone bad but then I found this video. I said let’s start with a simple thing first. I pulled the line out and sure enough it was frozen up close to the nozzle. I took some string trimmer string and push the ice out and I had to feed the line back in backwards because of the sharp arc that was where it used to curve into the nozzle would not feed back through. So I just flipped it over and bang. Thank you
I hear ya! I’m glad you were able to fix it. Thanks for letting me know!
Because you shared this video, my issue was fixed quickly, too. Thank you.

Thank you so much for this. It helped me when my water line slipped out from the dispenser and had water going all over.
I’m glad it helped and got it back going!
@@TryThisDIYFix I would have been so mad if I paid someone to simply push the line back into place.
@@Niakoda yeah sometimes it’s just a little fix!
That is the same exact thing that I had happen today. Hoping I can get it fixed now myself!
@@pamm7494 yeah I hope so! Let me know how it goes.
This helped a lot. I changed the water dispenser socket for the filter, the pump in the back and had tried defrosting multiple ways. I couldn’t figure out how to get to the line in the freezer door and once I watched this, ripped the whole line out, got rid of the chunk of ice in it, fished the line back down the door (had to cut on end with a point to make it through the hole, boom, water again. Thanks again! Learned alot with this whole adventure haha. Full fridge disassemble your fix a dang frozen dispenser hose in the end
Hey that’s great you fixed it though! Great job. Thanks for letting me know! Keep up the great work!
This is exactly what I did. t
There was a small part of the line that was frozen. Great DIY Video!! @@TryThisDIYFix
@@billrayson5632 awesome! I’m glad it helped! Thank you.

That’s awesome! Thanks for letting me know! I’m glad it worked!
What are the symptoms for this needing replacement ?
Loved the video it was very helpful I managed to fix my waterline on my refrigerator
That’s awesome! I’m glad it helped! Thanks for letting me know!
Thanks i have this same version and our hose had fallen off inside so water was going all over. Opened it up and pushed it back in and all working now.
That’s great! I’m glad you were able to fix it! Thanks for letting me know!
Good job, your Fridge is the same as mine, seems pretty simple. Thanks so much I love RUclips.
Thank you! Yeah same here! I hope this helps!
How did you learn to do all this stuff? After I watch your videos I always feel like I’ve learned something and that I’ve clearly missed out on a lot of skills in my life. Lol
Haha! I feel the same! There are so many things I wish I knew! But I’ve learned most of this because of circumstances, either it happened to me or I’ve been meaning to do it. Ha. But thank you so much!
Very helpful video. Now I will go and fix my water problem.
That’s awesome! I’m glad this helped! Thanks for watching!
While moving my refrigerator the water line became dislodged causing the water to spill onto the floor. Thanks, I was able to repair it, although my outer cover panel was extremely tight. Thanks again.
That’s awesome! That’s what happened to me as well! I’m glad it worked. Thanks for letting me know!
Thanks dude!! You were incredibly helpful.

Hi! Loved this video. Do you think you can do one explaining the three tubes on the back of the fridge? I can't blow air through one but am not sure if that's why mine isn't dispensing water
Hmmm. I’ll have to look and see what mine look like. I don’t know if I have 3 back there.
My problem is the pipe from inlet valve to the coupler, its broken will that feed through as easy as the route up you showed ?
Hmmm. Possibly. I’d try it and see.
How do I know if the drip problem stems from this repair that you are showing or the contraption in the back, as other videos suggest?
I know from my example the door was damaged so I knew it had to be in the line.
Vielen Dank und schöne Grüße aus Deutschland
Thanks
Thanks

Nice video. Saw another which was just as good. So, my question is, how long does your dispenser take to fill a 12 oz glass to about an inch from the top? My KitchenAid (2001) takes about 45.47 seconds. Your water flow looks slow like mine but I am curios if its the same. I think it is too slow. I've done filter changes but it has always been slow. Drives me crazy. Try filling the pitcher with water after you've changed the filter.
OMG... like listening to your hair grow! I don't know what to do about it!
One thing you could do is change the size of the water line. Mine isn’t too bad, it would probably take 30 seconds to fill up a cup. But you could try changing the line to a larger gauge and that might help speed up the process.

My door was damaged.
I have this exact same refrigerator. Is your water pressure low as well. Takes about two minutes to fill up one water bottle
Hmm. No mine isn’t low. Is the rest of your water pressure low? If not it could be something wrong with the line or a small water line itself.
Our refrigerator has small white pieces coming out of the water hole. Is it possible that this is part of the old plastic tube coming off? I have put a new water filter in and nothing changed
Hmmm. Can you tell what these pieces are? It could be from your water, filter or pipes. I would try and determine what these pieces are and go from there. Let me know what you find.
awesome

Nice video, i have the same fridge but the hose is stuck and i can't get it out. What I can do?
Hmm. Have you tried to pull it out either way? It might be stuck on something or pinched.
I replaced the water filter, but water still doesn’t come out. I guess I’ll try swapping out the water line. It looks manageable.
Yeah it’s not too bad. You can do it.
I have tried this but my fridge (DSS25KSTE SS) the water line is a pvc spout. No real way to replace the line without replacing the fridge door which they don’t sell anymore. Any suggestions?
Is all the line pvc or just the end? You could get a connector and then use the line I have in the video. Connect the pvc to the line after it comes from the box.
Thank you for the video. It's bee awhile since you posted this and it looks like the valve you have an affiliate with is no longer available.
Thank you so much! I appreciate the help!
Hello, thank you for your help, my fridge freezer is Kenwood, I don't know how to solve the problem, because there is no screw to open the screen.
Hmm. Can you get to it from the backside?
@@TryThisDIYFix I don't know, I will take the test. I will tell you later what happened. Thank you
@@behzadfalahat2732 sounds good. Yes let me know how it works for you.
The issue I've been having lately is I press a cup against the lever to run the pump and draw water, but after letting off the pump the water flow keeps dribbling out afterward to where the catch tray fills up after a few refills of the cup and then spills out onto the floor.
Hmmm. That’s odd. You could try to replace the line. But that might be something with your switch to cut the water off.
My frigerator is a general electric GSH25JFXN space BB serves repair man is telling me I gotta replace the whole door and that tube can’t come out of my model could you help me to tell me if that’s true or not
Hmmm, I’m not sure. I think you could try this fix first and see if the tube comes out. If it doesn’t then you can replace it.
Can you fix mine or recommend someone in my Lawndale, California area
You could try these fixes in the video or look for a local appliance guy.
It takes 45 seconds to fill 1 cup (measuring cup) via my water dispenser. I think this is because the water pressure in the copper pipe entering the fridge is too low. How long should it take to fill 1 cup (measuring cup)?
Wow, that’s a long time. Mine only takes 15-20 seconds. I’d take a look at that.
I’m trying to trouble shoot my refrigerator water dispenser. It appears to be spraying water out the side of the door when dispensing water only. Not when dispensing ice or when the ice maker is refilling. Is the water line vulnerable to breaks inside the door? Or should I loom for something wrong from the water filter? The line comes up through the bottom of the unit but the filter is at the top left corner of the fridge. Which leads me to believe something else could be leaking. I haven’t found a schematic drawing of the fridges interior works yet.
I’m not 100% sure either. You could try this fix and see if this is the culprit. That’s actually what my problem was. The water line was pinched and had a small leak. But I’d try this and see if it works since it’s a pretty cheap fix. Let me know if it works.
Thanks. I’ll give it a try.
@@TryThisDIYFix took the door hinge cover off and discovered the leak is a worn water line from the filter to the ice maker. No wonder the leak wasn’t making sense, it was squirting out the top and down through the door seal. Weird. New wAter line is on its way.
@@michellewelch6013 I’m glad you were able to find the problem!
What size was the water dispenser line.
Check the link in the description. I have it there. I know it was a different size than originally because I had to get a different connector.
Is the 1/4 ID or OD?
I have a link for it in the description.
What screw driver did u use??
For mine I believe it was just a regular flat head screwdriver. Are you having problems?
does anyone know the size of this tube thanks
Hey yes, in the description I have a link to the line. Check there first. Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you!
what about the line that goes through the fridge? you just changed the connection points
Yeah that was the only bad part for mine were the connections.
So a putty knife… never heard of that tool. Thx
Yeah. Very useful tool! Thanks for watching!
Where can I buy a connector? My connection isn't good and water leaks every time I use it
Dang sorry about that! You can check the description I have a link there. Thanks. Let me know if it works.
Helpful but I need to replace the whole systems lines
Thanks! Yeah. You should be able to pull them out from the back I believe.
Is it 1/4 line
I believe so. I had to get the converter for it. Feel free to like and subscribe for more helpful videos. Thanks
Ugh can NOT get the new water line to come out the bottom or top😡 any tricks?
You can’t pull it out? It might be pinched. If you get it disconnected go ahead and pull it.
@@TryThisDIYFix no, the old one came out but the new one hits something near either end. i keep trying the slight pull back then push techniques but no avail 😕
@@CalvertFitness hmmm. I’m not sure. You might could try to push a piece of wire. But that’s all I can think of. Lmk if you figure it out.
@@TryThisDIYFix i might remove the whole damn door to get a better angle and be able to fish a line in there!
@@CalvertFitness haha! I hear ya! I’ve had some of those as well. Good luck!
I'm pulling mine from down and up and it doesn't come out!!
Hmmm. It could be in a bind in there. Maybe try to use something to push it out. Let me know if that works.
My water line is dirty at the tip. Maybe I can clean it now.
Yeah you should be able to clean it out. Maybe even run some vinegar or something through it. If that doesn’t work, the line is pretty cheap so you can replace it.
My waterline is super-stuck!!!!! Cant yank it out.
Hmm. It might be kinked up. Can you try both ways?
I will try from bottom. Thanks for quick response!!😀
@@gnboy344 you got it. Did it work?
Yes sir!!!!! Tried pulling from both ends. Ice build up in the passage itself. Made my saturday weekend so fulfilling. Thanks, thanks again for the advice.!!!😀❤️
@@gnboy344 that’s great. It is nice to see a finished project! You are welcome! Glad it helped!
I don't think it was your hose I think it was the connector I know cause that's my problem that I just fixed
Nice. Thanks. I think it could have been both. My hose was crimped from the door falling. Thanks for watching!
Thanks Baker Mayfield. Boomer Sooner
Hahaha. I wish.
He keeps covering up the important steps with his hands and arms.

Fir my situation the door fell off so I had to fix it.

That’s a great question. For me the door fell so I knew it was probably the line.
Thanks. I think we will replace the part in the back, first.
@@user-rk1ur2tp5x nice. Lmk if that works.
As soon as the part comes in and it’s replaced!
