Customer Questions and Answers for Union Connector by Ge

The Refrigerator Union Connector is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. It is responsible for connecting the water supply lines from the kitchen plumbing to the refrigerator, allowing water to flow to the ice maker and water dispenser. The plastic connector assists your water dispenser by joining two 5/16 inch x 5/16 inch plastic water lines. Over time, Union Connectors can crack or break under pressure. 

Causes of a bad Union Connector include wear and tear from repeated use, exposure to extreme fluctuations or surges in water pressure, or damage from accidental mishandling.

Symptoms of a bad Refrigerator Union Connector include:

• Water leaks at or near the connector area 
• Inconsistent or no water flow to the ice maker/dispenser
• Fluctuations in water pressure to the fridge
• Water damage to surrounding kitchen areas from leaks

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
