Description

This refrigerator water reservoir stores a small volume of water in the fresh food compartment so the dispenser delivers a steady, chilled flow. Replace a cracked or leaking tank to stop interior leaks and restore normal dispensing performance. What it does:

• Holds water for the in-door dispenser between uses
• Lets water cool to refrigerator temperature for consistent dispensing
• Helps maintain steady flow to reduce pulsing at the dispenser
• Common symptoms: leaks inside the fridge, slow or no water from the dispenser, visible cracks/bulges in the tank or connected tubing

What's included:

• One water reservoir

Install notes:

• Unplug the refrigerator and shut off the household water supply
• Depressurize the line by dispensing water until the flow stops
• Remove shelves/drawers to access the reservoir (typically behind the crisper area)
• Capture residual water, reconnect fittings securely, then restore water/power and check for leaks; purge air by dispensing several glasses of water
