This air trap assembly replaces the factory air trap that helps control air in the refrigerator water line, restoring steady water flow to the dispenser and ice system for more reliable fills and reduced sputtering. What it does:
- Creates a controlled air pocket in the water line to prevent sputtering or intermittent flow at the dispenser and ice maker.
- Helps maintain consistent water delivery so the ice maker can fill reliably.
- Reduces the chance of air-related filling issues and noisy gurgling from the water line.
- Fits into the appliance's water plumbing as a dedicated inline assembly.
What's included: One air trap assembly. Install notes:
- Always unplug the appliance and shut off the water supply before beginning service.
- Inspect tubing and fittings for damage; replace any brittle or cracked lines to ensure a leak-free connection.
- Use hand tools; avoid overtightening fittings which can damage the part or tubing.
- After installation, restore water and power, run several dispense/fill cycles, and check all connections for leaks.
