How to Fix ANY Fridge Water Line

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

The line to my water dispenser broke right in back where I could easily get to it. Your video saved me a service call. Many thanks!

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 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.

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.

Just used that little connector to repair our broken fridge line! Love YouTube!

[jeromedinh]

Thank you! The water line was cut on our fridge so this is perfect

[davidmitchell]

Thanks for the tip
Just needed the 1/4 inch connector and had to remember to remove the inside cap.😂😂😂

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!

[Poor_Mans_DIY]

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!!!

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.

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

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.

After 4 tries, I DID it!! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Where do you get the hose and exstenders

[nicarob]

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 ?

[pctechman]

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!!!

[tonipill]

do you have a connector that fits a 1/8" tubing?

[merlinvillar]

where do you buy the connectors? where do you buy the tubing?
