Repair & Advice
I had an LG refrigerator with a split (leaking fracture) in the icemaker line. I purchased two tubing couplers and a new length of tubing, which arrived quickly (less than 2 days). I cut off the part of the existing tubing with the leak, put on the two couplers, cut the new tubing to match the length and inserted all ends in to the couplers. It took a total of about 10 minutes. I tested for leaks, and there were no problems. It was a super easy fix and I was happy with the parts. I had tried a metal coupler before, but using a metal coupler with plastic tubing was not good - it started to leak after a few months. This new coupling should work better. We'll see.
