Whirlpool Refrigerator GSF26C4EXT02 Leaking

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.

This OEM Replacement Part is a single water inlet valve designed for use in Whirlpool refrigerators. Its key function is to supply water to the refrigerator's ice maker and water dispenser. When energized, this valve releases water from the supply line into the ice mold. If the water valve develops a crack, it will need replacement. The valve accommodates two different sizes of tubing: the smaller inlet measures 1/4", and the larger inlet measures 5/16".

By maintaining the integrity of this component, users can ensure the proper functioning of the refrigerator's ice maker and water dispenser. Always consult your appliance manual for accurate installation and replacement guidelines. This part is compatible
with select brands including Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Kenmore, and Maytag.

This water supply tube connects at the inlet water valve, routing water through your appliance's water system. Replacing a brittle, cracked, or kinked line helps restore reliable, leak-free operation and proper water flow. What it does:

• Carries water from the inlet valve to the designated component (such as dispenser, icemaker, or filter housing, depending on model)
• Helps maintain proper water pressure and uninterrupted flow
• Common symptoms include leaks at the back/bottom, slow or no water at the dispenser, or an icemaker not filling
• Addresses visible cracks, brittleness, or kinks in the existing tubing

• 1 water supply tube

• Disconnect power and shut off the household water supply; relieve line pressure by dispensing water
• Place a towel to catch residual water and note the original routing before removal
• For push-in/quick-connect fittings, insert fully and tug back to verify engagement; if using compression fittings, tighten snugly without overtightening
• Turn water on and check all connections for leaks before restoring power
