The Water Tube is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is responsible for transporting water from the water valve to the back of the refrigerator. The water tube allows for easy access to chilled and filtered drinking water directly from the refrigerator dispenser.
Causes of a bad water tube can be cracks, kinks, or damage developing over time due to regular use and repetitive bending during cleaning. Mineral deposits may also cause restrictions.
Symptoms of a bad water tube include:
- Water leaks or spraying inside the refrigerator
- Low water pressure from the dispenser
- Dispenser malfunctions or does not work
- Dripping or pooling water near the tube connection points
This genuine OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
