I have a Bosch B20CS50SNS refrigerator. The water line is broken where it feeds into the bottom of the freezer door (heading to the dispenser). Any suggestions on a repair part of description of how to replace this water line?
Hello. yes. just go to http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/merchandiser/show.pd?description=Home%20Appliances
click on the box that says find the right part.
Enter your fridge model number and you will get all of the diagrams for your unit. Find the water line and you will see what it takes to replace it plus you can order it. This is an excellent site. Hope this helps you. Joe
It's most likely, just a piece of plastic tubing. You can get it at the big box hardware stores or at a decent aquarium supply store. Just remove the covers and nip a small piece off to take along so you get the right size. When you install the new hose, dip the snd into some rubbing alcohol. This will lubricate it. The alcohol will evaporate in minutes so, it's harmless.

Thanks. I have a piece of the plastic tubing...would appreciate some guidance on how to access the water line in the freezer door from where it's broken at the bottom hinge up to the dispenser.
Mr. Smith? Did you get this fixed? I have the same problem with same model # but technician says this water line cannot be replaced and I would have to buy a new door. Please reply or email me at [email protected]. Greatly appreciate it!
I have the same issue. Tried to replace but no success. All the foam insulation is glued on and is impossible to remove the dispenser.
I just repaired mine today. Bosch runs the water line in front of the condenser and over time the tubing gets brittle and snaps off. I made two repairs to this line in the last 4 years. This time the tubing snapped behind the upper rear panel. I had to pry the metal up after the screws were removed. I then cut away the foam searching for the water line. The water line runs through a plastic tube. I cut the outer tube, made the repair and screwed everything back together. I then drilled two holes in the outer metal back plate in the location where I removed the foam. I bought a can of foam and shot it in the cavity until it came out of the second hole. Problem solved. I love Bosch dishwashers, but I will never buy another Bosh refrigerator.
The water supply line to the water dispenser is foamed into the door but if the break is at the bottom there is a way to fix it.
1. Remove bottom cover and disconnect water supply line.
1 Remove the cover for top hinge on the freezer door. Disconnect the electrical connections behind the hinge cover and remove the singel bolt from the top hinge. Lift up on the front of the hinge to remove the hinge. Lift up on the freezer door to remove.
2. Remove the bottom hinge from the freezer door.
3. The plastic bottom of the door is only held in place by foam. Using a putty knife pry the bottom plastic off.i cut thru the foam with the putty knife the is just came free.
4. Cut back the foam around the hose to a depth of about 4 to 6 inchs. I used a long thin kitchen knife.
5. Push the hose so it can be cut at 90 degrees.
Insert a push splice with a new section of hose attached.
6 reassemble.
The above method (from Anonymous Thank you!) worked for me and saved $690 dollars for a new door!. just a couple of points to add.
1. Be careful of sharp edges on the bottom of the door after removing the bottom plate.. I cut by finger on it. Before working in the door bottom, put some duct tape along the sharp edges and you will be good to go
2. There was plastic sleeve over the broken hose that I just cur away and pulled off.
3. Because it was too hard to go deep into the door to cur the hose and place the fittings, I had to trim the plastic hinges about 3/4 of an inch.
4.I used an offset medical scissors to cut the bad pipe away in order get access
5. i stuffed the old foam back in and used bubble wrap to file in the empty space
6. I used bathroom calk to put back the bottom plate.
7. When putting in the bottom plate, be sure it is under the plastic molding on the door and it fits flush
