Scott for Model Number 106.586533400 kenmore cold spot side by side

Answer Hello Scott, While the line should be 5/16 inch, if you disconnect the line at the door hinge and disconnect the 5/16 line from the water inlet valve, and the lines can be pulled through the fresh food compartment floor. Cutting nothing means it can be reinstalled as is. 

Manuel C.

Answer Hello Manuel, As long as you can access about 1 inch of the line on both lines after you have cut the bad portion off squarely, you can use the push on style John Guess fitting to couple the two lines back together.

Answer Greg, There are not step by step instructions in print. To replace the water reservoir you will need to pull unit out and take the rear cover off the unit. Disconnect the line from the water valve and the connection at the bottom of the door. Make sure icemaker and is off when doing this. Take the shelving out to expose reservoir and remove the old reservoir. Once removed and lines pulled out you will then push the new lines in and screw the reservoir to the wall. Reconnect the lines and turn icemaker back on and reinsert shelves.
