I just went to get a glass of water from the water dispenser and nothing came out. As I pushed the dispenser water came out of the bottom of the fridge on the floor. I took off the front a back panel to find out that the plastic water line from the door to don't know where is broken. I has become brittle and breaks off in my hand like pasta. I can take the line that is coming out of the top part of the fridge and push the dispenser and water flows.
Ok the line needs replacing! Now looking at the compressor on the bottom the line goes up into the body of the fridge. How do I get into that part? There are no screws on the back. do I get at it from the inside? What type of tubing do I need it looks to be about 1/4" diameter.
It is a Kenmore side by side 106.50593003

this is an LG made machine, ther eis no simple way off, youll need to pry it off form the edges, no screws hold it, merely plastic tabs and pressure. I hate this dispensor for this reason , but the dozen or so i removed, i havent broken any yet. pry slowly and youll get it

This may not be the problem now but by the sound of the malfunctioning ice maker, it could be in the future. The start device on some models of refridgerator for maytag and whirlpool have been recalled. If your appliance was manufactured in the last 5-10 years you may be having an issue with this component. Mine recently caught on fire at this device that is located near the compressor. If you would like to be a part of the petition for a recall on this appliance contact me at [email protected]

The tube can be accessed from the bottom back of the fridge. a plastic panel snaps out and there is a coil of tubing that is used to cool the water as it passes through the fridge to cool it. Pull the tube through the fridge and uncoil it from the roll. Push the tube through and make sure it is not near the hot compressor which was the reason why the tube became brittle. Use the old connector taken off the broken hose. Reconnect everything try the water, vaccum out all the dust while you have it open and you are back in business.
Where can I get the tubing without replacing the whole reservoir?
