Kitchenaid Ice Maker 8198549 Leaking

The Ice Maker Water Line is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It supplies water from the household plumbing to the ice maker, ensuring a consistent and reliable production of ice cubes. This kit includes a 1/4-inch plastic water line that is approximately 72 inches long. The tubing will need to be cut to match the desired length.

Causes of a bad water line can include wear and tear from prolonged use, kinks or bends restricting water flow, or leaks due to punctures or cracks. A compromised water line can result in inadequate ice production or water leaks.

Symptoms of a bad ice maker water line include:

• Reduced or no ice production
• Leaking water from the refrigerator
• Visible cracks or damage to the water line
• Ice cubes that are smaller than usual

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

This hose clamp secures a rubber or plastic hose to its fitting to maintain a tight, leak-resistant seal. Replace a worn or missing clamp to stop drips and keep appliance water connections secure.

• Fastens a hose to a barb or port to prevent leaks
• Helps keep hoses from slipping off due to vibration or pressure
• Restores proper sealing when a clamp is rusted, bent, or stripped
• Common symptoms: water dripping at a hose joint, loose hose connection, or a clamp that won't tighten

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Place a towel to catch residual water when removing hoses
• Position the clamp just behind the hose barb/bead and secure with the appropriate tool
• Restore water and power, then run a quick check for leaks at the connection
