Pete April 16, 2024 for Model Number KSSO42QMW00 I have to replace the plastic hose going to the water dispenser. part number 8201537. My fridge came with an anti drip value. Do I need to replace the anti drip value or just the hose? It seems the newer models did away with the anti drip valve. will the bracket be different that holds the hose in place, if I don't use the anti drip valve ? lastly, are all replacement part hoses for this made of Pex construction?
1 Answer Pete, the model provided, would utilize a solenoid valve found in a different section of the appliance. However, if it is not leaking by, the valve would not be necessary. The bracket for the hose should be the same based on the design of the model provided and the water hose replacements are all going to be the same material. Read More...
Tom March 15, 2024 for Model Number KSRT25FWMS01 I have a Kitchenaid/Whirlpool KSRT25FWMS01 refrigerator. I have consistent freezing of the water line going to the water dispenser. The ice maker line does not freeze. I have raised the temperature of the freezer to its maximum. It usually stays around +5 F. Sometimes water leaks out of the bottom of the freezer door where the water line comes out. Maybe a freeze-thaw thing going on. I thought about replacing the water line, however, the new one may just freeze up as well. do you think I have something going on inside the freezer door with the insulation? Thanks! Tom
1 Answer Tom, with water leaking out where the water tubing is, this would indicate the insulation of the door having an issue and the door LW10149884 would need to be replaced. Unfortunately, the door has been discontinued by the manufacturer and is no longer available. Read More...
Rhonda January 27, 2023 for Model Number 10652214100 How do I repair a leaky water dispenser? I'll fill up a glass of water but it leaks when I pull out the glass for a few of seconds.
1 Answer Rhonda, If you have just replaced the filter there may be water in the line and you will need to draw at least a gallon of water out the door to remove all the air from the filter replacement. If no new filter then the water valve W10853654 likely has an issue and would need to be replaced. Read More...
Mike H September 17, 2022 for Model Number KSSS42QHT00 I am trying to install a Dispenser Water Tube Kit 8201537 into my Kitchenaid KSSS42QHT00 built-in refrigerator. The old tube broke off behind the water dispenser in the freezer door. The broken tube is black. I can see a clear tube that comes out of the bottom of the door. I assume that there is a coupling between the black and clear tube inside the door. I cannot reach the black tube behind the water dispenser. The clear tube on the bottom of the door is stuck. I tried pulling it but it would not move. My freezer door is filled with foam and it does not appear that I can access the path that tube follows (due to the sprayed foam. I cannot fit the new tube into the hole on the bottom of the door with the old tube still there. I am afraid to pull hard on the old tube because I might break something. Can you recommend a method for running the new tube through the freezer door?
1 Answer The kit you have is not for this model. In this model, the line is only replaceable with the door panel 2221137T which is no longer available. Read More...
Vicki March 30, 2022 for Model Number ED5JHEXTB00 The water dispenser line is cracked and needs to be replaced. Watching your video, it seems like the only thing needed is 1/4" tubing. Will any 1/4" tubing work? And reuse the bracket?
Darrin February 07, 2022 for Model Number Kenmore elite refrigerator MN 106.54616300 When I open the left freezer door, water begins to drip out the hole where the water line goes up through the freezer door and connects to the water dispenser on that door. When the freezer door is closed, no dripping. When the freezer door is closed, and I bend and pull on the water line, the dripping happens again. Any suggestion for what is going on would be appreciated. Thank you.
1 Answer Darrin, Check to see if it is the coupler that is leaking. If it is not and it is coming from inside the freezer door then this will be an issue with a damaged water line. To correct this you would need to replace the waterline part number 8201537. This is not the easiest repair but can be done without service. You would need to remove the dispenser cover and disconnect the water line at the bottom of the door. Make sure that the water supply is turned off. Once you have this done you will then also want to remove the door from the unit. With the door laying on a blanket or sheet with the dispenser facing up, you can remove the tubing that is in the door and then push the new one in place. The reason for removing the door is because when you feed the new line in the hinge would get in the way. Once it is in place, reverse the steps to reinstall the door. Read More...
Sharon January 20, 2022 for Model Number 106.56249400 The water from my Kenmore cold spot is undrinkable. It tastes musty/moldy. My only guess is before I moved in the refrigerator was turned off for a period of time, but the lines not emptied. What can I do?
1 Answer Sharon, Start by flushing it all very well and replacing your filter EDR3RXD1. If the taste is still there you could try changing out the water reservoir. WP2256126 Read More...
Cag November 30, 2020 for Model Number KSRA25ILSS02 The part referenced for repairing the leaking water dispenser is "8201537", however, the picture of the part on your website does not look the same as what is on my unit. My water tube has a molded 'bulb' at one end, while the unit offered for is just the tube itself without the bulb. Has the original part been discontinued?? Chris
1 Answer Chris, the new plastic end of the water tube may be different in shape but will work the same, it is not uncommon for manufactures to alter the shape of parts. Read More...

1 Answer Eric, This would be 1/4" tubing. We do not have specifics on the inner diameter and length of the tube. Read More...
Kevin May 31, 2020 for Model Number Kenmore Elite 106.44423600 Hello, Great video! I’m trying to replace the water dispenser line on our side-by-side. I have the old line removed, but when I try to slide the tube down the path, it gets stuck and will not budge, no matter how hard I push. I’ve tried threading it from the bottom in the door and from the top dispenser area, gets stuck both ways. Any ideas on how to get it through? Do I have to dismantle the door? Help!!
1 Answer Kevin, it sounds like the edge of the tubing is getting stuck on the insulation. Usually, it is easiest to attach a string to the original tubing before pulling it out so that the line can be used to guide the new tubing. However, as the original one has been pulled out, if a bit of electrical tape is used to make a rounded tip, it may allow for the tubing to pass through the insulation without a problem. Read More...
