Customer Questions and Answers for Refrigerator Ice Maker Water Supply Tube by Whirlpool

Hello Walter,
You will need to pull the refrigerator out to access the back of the units' cabinet. This water line will run through the ceiling of the freezer compartment. The water line has to be disconnected from the water valve and it pulls out of the freezer ceiling from inside the freezer, so the icemaker will need to be removed. Before attempting this, try using a bowl of hot water held under it and a turkey baster to squirt the hot water up into the fitting. This is the fastest way to remove ice from the fitting if it is frozen. Once it is clear, you will need to replace the water valve since it is the only thing besides low water pressure that will cause the fitting to freeze.
