Mark G Denham Springs , LA January 23, 2017 Joint at tube and elbow connector leaked I replaced the plastic tube and elbow connector that come out from the water filter. There was a bad seal in the old elbow and water was leaking out. Not only did this fix the leak, but my ice maker had stopped producing ice about 1 year ago and after I replaced this tube, it started to produce ice again. The old tube must have been blocked because the ice maker worked, but it would no longer get water to make the ice. 3 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes
