How to Troubleshoot & Replace Ge AP3414915 / WR02X11330 Union Connector

I went to appliance part pros online and looked for the parts we might need to repair the refrigerator. My husband found a cracked hose under the back access panel on our refrigerator. He thought it might be a hard fix that we would have to call someone in for until I watched the simple video on your website and realized it was really an easy fix. We ordered the hose and connector suggested in the video and it only took us 15 minutes to fix. 

Cut line inside the fridge and used a coupling to run a new 5/16th hose to the valve under the fridge at the rear. 

Simply replaced the water line with original equipment replacement part, using two couplers to replace both lines coming from the water tank. The excellent videos provided showed how to perform the installation, which was extremely simple to follow. All told, the parts for the repair came at around $20, and took about 20 minutes to replace from start to finish. By doing it myself, I save probably $150-200 by not needing to schedule a repair man to come out (probably twice--once to diagnose, and once to install the parts). Word of caution--if you are repairing one section of water line (such as from the solenoid valve to the water tank), plan on also replacing the line from the water tank to the door. They are equally old and prone to leaks, and you are already in there to begin with. You will need two union connectors (but only one length of water line, since one kit is enough to do both lengths). 

I followed the video exactly as it showed and now I have a non leaky fridge. Thanks APP! 

I ordered a filter housing, some plastic tubes to replace the leaking one and en extra connector which came really handy. I followed the videos and replaced parts pretty easily. It could have been done in as little as 15 minutes. But I started getting leaks and took me a while to play with water lines and changing connectors to stop the leak. Then I had to test it a few times to make sure it won't leak again. 

Had to call Appliance Parts Pros several times to determine which tubing was broken. The tubing I found broken connected the water tank to the water valve and both were in separate areas of the fridge. One in back sealed compartment and one inside fridge. It was difficult to determine what part numbers I needed. The techs were very patient and even they had a time trying figure out what was needed to repair. After several calls and very patient staff at Appliance Parts Pro, They were able to help me find necessary parts and it took 5 minutes to repair. Cost approx $20, but estimate just for diagnostic from repairman $89 parts and repair would have been more. Thanks Appliance Parts Pro. 

Simple fix for me was to remove the entire section of 170psi line and replace it with new and stronger 5/16" 210psi water line and 2 new union connectors. I left just enough of the old 5/16" line to put the 5/16" union connectors on and attached the new 5/16" line to both of those. Badda bing badda boom 32 seconds later we're making ice and drinking water from the fridge with no leaks.......simple and easy. 

I spliced new lines in to existing lines with mew tubing and connectors available from hardware store, water valve was still good but 5/8 in nut was worn out an leaking. I decided to replace all of them at once and ordered 1/4 in too. Unfortunately, 1/4 in. Nuts did not fit but 5/8 worked like a charm and no leaks! 

The elbow that connected from the water dispenser to the water inlet valve was cracked. Didn’t want to run the whole line, so cut the end of the new line and used a union connector to splice new piece to old line. 

At the fill valve in the back, the hose going to the ice maker had a crack. I could not replace just the hose to the ice maker. The connection at the fill valve was pressurized. Very difficult without destroying the valve. I replaced the valve and cut half the hose and use a union connector. All works great and I have my ice maker back in action.
