Ice Maker Water Fill Tube Kit WP2196157

For a year the filler tube would freeze up and stop all water flow. I would remove it and use a heat gun on it. I decided that the fill valve was leaking after 20y and actually saw drops coming out of the tube when the valve was off. So I watched the videos and ordered the parts. So far no freezing up and working as originally. The valve kit came with all the parts I needed to replace and reconnect the plastic and copper tubing connections. Very pleased with the outcome after a week as well as the videos and complests parts needed. The fill tube didn’t need shorthing and was used as it came. Adding, easy to replace and connect to the water supply line. My refrigerator location made the repair a little difficult ( small kitchen) but with patience it all went well. Not as difficult if access to the back side is easier. Not the fault of the parts supplied! Also to mention, I vacuumed out 20 years of dust from the coils while I had the back off. Same for the front side. A must do often to extend the life and air circulation.

Simple. 1st, removed broken part to understand part (water fill tube to freezer, plastic part at top of fill tube cracked). 2nd go on your web site and look at prints to find part number, Study video to understand video. 3rd. Called customer service and lady was very nice and efficient. Placed order and received. Study video again and installed. My 9 year old grandson was visiting from out of town and assisted in installation. Just over 30 minutes to install

Followed video and had one problen, the metal pipe would not release as shown,so I used a hacksaw between the plastic and metal pipe, removing the metal pipe from inside as the video shows. Good instructions.

Followed the instructions plus rest was intuitive and opposite of removal steps. The touch-up paint matched perfectly and easy to apply and blend with the original paint.

Follow the instructional video at the website. it is very easy to repair. Thanks!

Unscrew broken piece, pull it out and then insert new one, security it in place and connect water line again, make sure It's thight check for leaks and done

Replacing the parts was easy. I am 62 years old and have been repairing all my own appliances for yerars. I have found more problems in recieving the corect parts in a timley mater more difficult than fixing the problem. I am impressed with the promedness of your delivery, and in rtecieving the corect parts. Thank you much!!!!!!!!!!! Bill

I followed the simple steps outlines in the great video! Thanks

Replaced fill tube

We rolled the refrigerator out away from the wall and it was obvious where the break was located. We took out the old water spout for the ice maker and replaced the tube and the tubing from the solenoid. We turned it on and soon we had water dripping everywhere. We unloaded and defrosted the freezer which got all of the remaining ice that was stuck in there. We put everything back together. I read in some instructions in the manual that it might take 24 hours for the ice maker to reprogram itself and start producing ice. I was only about 12 hours and we had ice again and everything worked well. You really do not have to disconnect the water from the main line, the solinoid controls that part of operation and turns the water off until the ice trays are free and clear.
