Common Symptoms

• Ice maker produces little or no ice because water is not reaching the fill tube.
• Water leaking inside the refrigerator or freezer compartment.
• Restricted or intermittent water flow caused by a kinked, obstructed, or damaged tube.

Check Before Replacing

• Visually inspect the fill-tube assembly and accessible connections for kinks, cracks, disconnections, or evidence of water leakage.
• Confirm that the refrigerator’s water supply is turned on and that the supply line is not kinked before attributing the symptom to this assembly.
• During a normal ice-maker fill cycle, observe whether water reaches the fill-tube outlet; do not force the ice-maker mechanism or probe the tube with tools.
• If the tube appears frozen, allow the appliance to defrost according to the appliance instructions before concluding that the tube assembly is defective.
