I am so glad I found your video, I replaced the water hose but couldn’t get the new hose to come through the bottom of the freezer door and was panicking. Removing the bottom door hinge made it much easier. Actually think it is impossible without removing the bottom hinge.
Thank you so much!!!
You're welcome!
Jee. Got the parts for my Kenmore 1069552812 model. The OEM
Water dispenser 2157744 replaced with 4388152 and WP4388152 fitting
(Same as shown). But without your video I was at a loss. Did not know the send two hoses to fit multiple Models. Now I see mine will use the black as you demonstrated. Thanks sir.
This guy do a great job in all his videos , it shouldn't be any thumbs down, come on people, be gratefull
Thanks, glad the video helped you out!
Good video.
Fantastic instructions. I'm going to order the part and work on this next weekend, so happy to find this video!
It worked exactly like in the video!!! Saved myself a hundred bucks or so by doing it myself. One note... Do not yank on the hose when pulling it through - the door might come off of the block underneath. If it does don't panic -the top hinge will hold it until you can reposition the block. Excellent Tutorial. The part cost was reasonable also.
Pis Nop Thanks for the tip and good job on changing out the water line.
This is by far the better of videos on this subject.
Other videos want us to thread the water tube in from the bottom. That means that we cannot use the standard replacement tubes (since the pour spout is permanently glued to the dispensing end at the top), something they neglect to mention.
I had already removed the water tube before finding this video so I didn't use a string to guide the new hose to the hole. instead, I used the natural bend in the hose (due to coiling) to angle the hose toward the hole. It came out the bottom on the first try.
Good luck!
We're glad the video was helpful! Thanks for letting us know how the repair went for you.
My string broke and I guess I put too much tape on cuz the tube got stuck. But thanks to your comment I just threaded the new tube back thru and it seemed to go directly to the hole (twice). Of course this was after much sweating and thinking I'd have to remove the inner panel of the freezer door or water dispenser panel. But your comment made me decide to give it a try and I'm so glad it worked. Thank you!
This video made it so easy! And your refrigerator is identical to ours, which helped. Next we're using your video on replacing the icemaker kit! Thanks much Matt!
+Linda Beebe Awesome, glad the videos are helping you get the refrigerator fixed!
Thank you so much for this video. It made it possible to repair my Mom's refrig.
Awesome glad you got the fridge fixed!
Great video. Tech is a natural at clearly explaining each step. Thank you for posting.
Glad the video helped you get the refrigerator fixed!
Thanks for this! Very clear and helpful!
Amazing instructions. I think this gives me enough confidence to do it myself!
Glad the video helped you make the repair.
Great video, worked like a charm. Thanks!
Excellent training video!! Thank you very much.
Glad you got the refrigerator fixed!
When reinstalling tube run string out the top hole three or four feet so if the tape slips the string will still be in the "run."
Fantastic....thank you for this. It was incredibly helpful. Worked like a charm.
We're glad it was helpful!
This video is awesome. My replacement proceeded exactly as described and shown. The tips were invaluable. I am going to subscribe to their RUclips channel and get to work on other repairs I need to perform. Thanks Appliance Parts Pros!
You are welcome, glad the video helped!
It is easier to remove the nylon nozzle first, then feed the tube from the bottom without taking off the door hinge and not needing the fish string. Then re-attach the nylon nozzle on the top or just shape the tube end to serve as the nozzle.
It is better to dangle the poly tube below the filter to produce less stress when the door swings which tend to crack the poly especially when hardened over time.
Most of all, it is possible to use generic poly tubing instead of the specified repair kit.
Is the nozzle removable with out damaging it is like a fitting that can be released? And if the new line is fed from bottom to top no string is required?
Outstanding! How would I have ever known that you need a string to replace this hose? AppliancePartsPros.com - you are the greatest!
Glad the trick helped you get the water line through the door!
Thank you very very much
You're welcome! Glad we could help!
Hello,
I have a 20 year old Kenmore model 57762791, side by side fridge. Recently, the water dispenser began dripping after dispensing a glass of water. I wish I knew about your site before I ordered from Sears Parts Direct where I was told to order part# WP4388152 Refrigerator Dispenser Fitting and Water Tube Assembly.
Thank God for your video on how to change the part, which I did this morning. Unfortunately, it did not help a bit.
Can you please tell me what could be causing the issue. I followed your instructions exactly and there are no leaks.
Thank you in advance for your time and again, your video was perfect. If people would just follow your instructions as stated, there is no reason anyone should have had a problem replacing the tube.
BTW, I found that on this model, I could not remove the black plastic cam but it did not hinder the passing / threading of the tube through it.
Evan
Love your videos your very clear on all your videos, but would like to know the engineer who designed this.
myhero70 Glad the video helped you get the water line changed!
Hi;
Thanks for the great video.
But, I have a problem.
I taped sting to old tube and started to pull out, every thing went well for a while and then about half way through the tube started to bind I pulled a little harder and tube started to come again but it wasn't taking any string from below. And of course when the tube came free there was no string attached.
What do I do now or am I screwed?
Tom Arciero You may just have to play round with it till you get it through. You could also take the door off and lay it on a table to make it easier to see up into the lower hole.
Does GE make a kit? If not I will make one of these work. GE has problems with line freezing or after market filters clogging the line. I think they are foamed in. I run into this repair problem all of the time, GE's solution replace entire door. I have been able to break some off them loose using compressed air, or steamer.I am working a better method other then thawing out the whole refrigerator. I know they make a heater kit to help prevent freezing but getting it unclogged or thawed out is another battle. As soon as Im able to get my hands on a junk door, I will reverse engineer it.
I have not seen a kit form GE yet.
How can I change the water tubing if a piece is broken off from the bottom???
Roughly how long is that piece of wood.
Can this be done with a GE side by side fridge? I can't seem to find this part on the parts diagram . Somehow a particle got lodged inside this line after changing the water filter to a non-oem part. I tried everything from weedwacker line, assorted steel wires and compressed air. I tried it from the top/spout and also from the bottom after removing the coupling. Nothing seems to work. The blockage is just about a few inches from the dispenser.
You can post the model number and problem on our repair forum. The techs can help you out with the problem!
AppliancePartsPros Okay, Thanks!
Do you have any videos from the ice maker line tube on the top and then from the back of the fridge thank you
Do you mean the fitting in the back wall? If so here is the video for a popular one: Refrigerator Icemaker Fill Tube Fitting (part #2196157)-How To Replace
yea, I have a side by side mine goes on the left side top upper area, and it was leaking water in the back upper area due to pushing to much to the wall (lady fault) but I replace it thank guys !!! I subscribe
Would the same procedure work on a 1991 GE TFX 27FMA and what would be the part number that I would order. Thanks
Mark Hochheiser It would be changed out about the same way unfortunately the part for you model number has been discontinued by the manufacturer. You can post the problem along with the appliance model number in our repair forum and see if the techs are familiar with this enough to see if there is a work around.
Twine is the hardest part.
My refrigerator is an LG MODEL #LSC27937ST. The problem is that it makes very few ice cubes and the water coming out is also little. I wish some expert advice on how to fix it and where to buy parts for this brand. Thank you kindly.
+Carmelo Rivera Could be a water pressure problem, make sure the water supply valve is open all the way. Also if the filter is old it could cause a reduction of system pressure. You can also post the problem along with the appliance model number on our repair forum and the techs can help you troubleshoot the problem. forum.appliancepartspros.com/
I am unable to pull the water line up or down. Is there anything inside the door, maybe behind dispenser panel it could be stuck on? thank you

I have the same promblem
I have a Kenmore refrigerator and did the same as the vidio but, the new water line only goes in about 8" inches and no further. so I take it back out and the end of the is full of insulation, what now?😢 Well, I found out what was wrong, my string that I used was too thick, I switched over to a flat waxed cable tie, worked like a champ 😀
Were you able to maintain tension on the string to keep the tube from veering off course inside the door?
AppliancePartsPros yes, it's all back together and in good shape.
Glad you were able to get it fixed. Francis! And that's a good tip about the flat waxed cable tie. It's a tight space that it all has to fit through.
Do you have the part number for the water line on the right side of the compression fitting that you are unscrewing at 1:05? Where does that line attach to at that other end in the back of the fridge? Thanks!
If you follow it back it should go up to the cold water tank. You can go to our site and enter your model number to find the right one for it.
Is this the same for an LG GR-P227 KGB or is it slightly different. Any tips please?
LG will be different as it is a different brand. You can post your question on our repair forum and the techs will help you out.
I have a siemens side by side fridge freezer and cant see anyway the tube can come out from the top as there are no screws and no way of taking the front panel off :(
This is for a Whirlpool refrigerator, I am not sure they are comparable.
Suggestion: On my GEProfile PSC23SGMDBS I have had endless issues and repair calls on the water/ice dispenser. I do not want to turn it off at the wall. I would like to keep the ice maker working while totally disabling the dispenser. No water or ice from the door. I can open the freezer for ice. How could I do that?
RosieCa Have you checked the user manual to see if there is a child lock feature? You can also post the problem along with the appliance model number on our repair forum and the techs can help you troubleshoot the problem.
Would this work for "KitchenAid Model# KSRL25FRBL02"?
I would really appreciate your response. Thanks
Gwanamay G According to the model number you gave this is the correct video: ruclips.net/video/xPYSM_X_gnQ/видео.html
What about for a water line in a LG side by side refrigerator door LRSC26912SW?
Contiki Cartier Did you get an answer about the LG water line in freezer door?
No. I just plugged the hose. I only dispenses ice now.
Strange this was not responded to, sorry about that. We are always making new videos, but we do not have one for that specific part at this time.
NO KIDDING!!!
You guys do rock though.
I tried to figure it out and I have many years of experience working on spas and appliances.
Got skunked on this one!
Thank you! We do videos based on the popularity of the part, I do not know where this water line comes up in sales but I will send it over to be checked out, no promises though!! Thanks again.
pls help me with my lg water tube assembly show me video pls and thank you for your time aloha
Without knowing what you have, I would suggest posting the problem along with the appliance model number on our repair forum and the techs can help you troubleshoot the problem. forum.appliancepartspros.com/
what if your tube is broken inside the door, the string wont work.. what now
+Fred Flintstone Missed this question. If you have not got it fixed you can post the problem along with the appliance model number on our repair forum and the techs can help you troubleshoot the problem.
I have a Frigidaire FRS26ZRH, will this work for it?
This is for a Whirlpool so yours will be different. I could not find the model number you gave, please get the full model and serial numbers off the model number tag. Then give us a call and we can look up whatever you need for it, 1-877-477-7278.
Model is FRS26ZSH. I would need a video on removing the front water assembly as it is different than the video.
Still missing a few digits of the model number. You can go to our site and look at the breakdown diagrams to see how it goes together. You can also post the problem in the repair forum and the tech can help trouble shoot it. It takes time to find the right appliance and make a video, the ones we put up now have been weeks in the works so I can't promise a video will be available anytime soon. If you look at this part: AP2115415, you will see 2 legs that lock into the dispenser. You may have reach up and release them to pull the front cover off.
So $80 for a spout?
