Parts for Maytag HRNS2209/AP31A: Ice & Water Dispenser Parts

Color: Stainless steel

Compression nut for 5/16" plastic water line.

This thick water tube routes water between components to supply the dispenser or ice/water systems and helps prevent kinks or pinching for reliable flow. Use it to restore proper water delivery and reduce leaks from damaged tubing. What it does:

• Channels water between supply points and internal components to enable dispensing and ice production
• Thick-walled design resists kinking and abrasion for more consistent flow
• Can address symptoms like intermittent water flow, reduced dispensing, or visible tubing damage
• Helps stop leaks when replacing cracked, split, or hardened tubing

• Shut off the appliance power and water supply before replacing tubing
• Inspect and replace any worn clamps or seals; tight, leak-free connections are required
• Use basic hand tools; avoid sharp bends or pinch points when routing the tube

The Water Line Union is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It connects sections of the water line, ensuring a secure and leak-proof connection that facilitates the proper flow of water to the ice maker and water dispenser.

Causes of a bad water line union can include wear and tear from prolonged use, exposure to fluctuating temperatures, or physical damage from handling.

Symptoms of a bad water line union include:

• Leaks or water pooling around the refrigerator
• Reduced water flow to the dispenser or ice maker
• Water line disconnections
• Visible cracks or damage on the union

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.
