Fritz for Model Number Kitchen Aid Refrig' KSSS48DB (built in: no W00) part # 2002428

Video for water disp tube: AP3108776 (4388152) Water tube assembly shows newer model installation than my fridge. My fridge has a 90 degree elbow (perhaps a 3/8" ) with a 1" nut to hold elbow to freezer door bottom. It in no way resembles the easy disconnect of the tube from its supply shown in the video. Before I tackle installation of new part, I'd like your best advice to proceed. My built in was purchased circa 1995. My part was purchased: Order Date: 10/27/2013 Order Number: 3782107

This is the type of nut that was used prior to the use of quick connects. Removal and installation would be easier if you are able to remove the door. When you remove the existing water line the door can be in place but getting it back through the without the door being off would be difficult to get it through the hinge.
