Noticed stringy floaters in water dispensed from fridge door

Screw gun with phillips and sockets

Take off lower bezel on front/bottom. Take off cardboard on back bottom. Unscrew the splitter/pump on right side. Remove the filter housing front/bottom. Replaced incoming threaded end of water line from house connection to front filter housing (part number available from parts dr), replaced the line from the filter housing back to the splitter/pump (part available from parts dr), and replaced the line from the splitter/pump up through the hole into the fridge, couled up inside, back down and around the lower back lip finally up to the lower part of freezer door hinge (this was the wrong part/size sent from parts dr - bought correct part at Menards) and then fished the final leg of dispenser line (part available from parts dr) up through freezer door edge and to dispenser mechanism.

Water Line

Daniel from MO

My wife and I bought a new house. Somewhere along the move, the end of the water line that connects to the hookup in the house broke. There was no way to add a new fitting onto the line because it is plastic and snapped completely in half. In order for us to have water and ice from the fridge we had to replace this line.

Pliers, screwdriver

The first thing I had to do was remove the panel at the bottom of the fridge(front). After that, I had to remove the water filter housing (the water filter should come out with it). There are 2 lines that go into the back of the water filter. Locate the one that is for the main water. There is a small clip that holds the line in place. Remove that clip with a pair of pliers and then pull the water line out. To get the new water line from the back of the fridge to the front where it hooks up to the filter, I used the broken line as a guide. To do this I used a piece of tape and taped the end of the new line to the old broken one and pulled it through from the back of the fridge to the front where it hooks up to the filter. Remove the tape and completely remove the old line. Hook up new line into the filter and replace the clip. Hook up the line into the house and push refrigerator back into place. Replace the front bottom panel and go back to enjoying filtered ice cold water again! I received my order from Parts Dr in one day. I was blown away by how easy the ordering process was as well as how fast I received my order. I would recommend Parts Dr to anyone who wants to try and tackle a repair themselves!
