WR17X2891 General Electric Plastic Tube

The 5/16 inch plastic tubing for refrigerators serves as a crucial component in GE appliances, including models from Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears. This OEM part facilitates the movement of water from the supply line to the refrigerator's dispenser and ice maker, ensuring the uninterrupted production of both ice and drinking water. Positioned typically within the refrigerator, the tubing connects the water inlet valve directly to the dispenser and ice maker.

This plastic tube is compatible with several appliance brands and can address multiple issues related to water delivery within the refrigerator. These issues include:

- Poor or nonexistent water flow from the dispenser.
- Reduced or halted ice production.
- Water leaks or pooling near the dispenser.
- Low water pressure due to restricted flow.
- Freezing in the water line that may cause clogs and further reduce flow.

The tube's 5/16 inch diameter is standard for the specified models and is essential for restoring full functionality to the refrigerator's water and ice dispensing features.
