Hello,
Recently we had a leak at the junction of the water intake & the unit in the refrigerator. I have purchased a new part, WRX57X10026, bracket & valve asm, but I am unsure how to detach the wayer lines from the old asm to the ice mater, water dispenser.
Can you provide any assistance ?
Thanks
Dave A.
You should be able to look at your new valve to see openings for water lines. There should be little rings around each opening. Press down on these on your old valve to release water lines. Some older valve have threaded openings that just screw off. If that's the case, your new valve probably doesn't have the threads. Just push the plastic nut up the line and insert water line in new valve firmly until you feel it snap into place. Your water source line from wall will probably still screw onto valve.

its possible that your water tank has frozen up, try turning the refrig off and leave the doors open for about 10-15 mins and try it again. if that works just reset temp controls a little lower..

sounds like a leak where your incoming water line hooks to the water valves might just need to tighten the coupling or a mouse has chewed through one or both of the lines access the lines on the back and watch while some one gets water out the door to locate the leak

is the floor of the freezer a sheet of ice? if so the defrost drain hole is clogged.

If you don't get water at the valve and it has power it is likely clogged. Take it apart and find most likely a part where the rubber has softened and clogged a hole that is supposed to open up when the valve is triggered. On mine it was at the bottom of a little metal pole that the rubber was bad. Clear the clogged hole and replace the bad seal and you should now have water.

Go to the hardware store and get a brass tube sleeve coupling; cut off the old tube end, slide the hex cap thread side out onto the tube, then; slide the tube sleeve onto the tube and, seat the tube into the supply valve then tighten the hex nut.
take the old parts to the hardware store to compare; the size is most likely 1/4" the part can be found in the "evaporative cooler parts" section of the hardware store
