W11482381 Whirlpool Refrigerator Water Tube

Refrigerator Water Tube Description:
The water tube is a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part designed for Whirlpool refrigerators, which also accommodates several other brands such as Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures compatible components for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea models. This part is crucial for the appliance's water dispensing and ice-making functions, as it connects the water filter housing to the ice maker or water dispenser valve.

Over time, the water line may experience wear and tear such as kinks, cracks, or splits due to normal usage and vibrations within the refrigerator's structure. Furthermore, mineral deposits can accumulate, causing blockages that restrict water flow.

Common indicators of a malfunctioning water line include:
- Reduced or inconsistent output of water or ice
- Water leakage around connection points
- Presence of minerals or other debris in the ice or dispensed water
- Issues with water filter or valve performance

This replacement water line is compatible with a range of refrigerator models from Whirlpool, Kenmore, KitchenAid, and other brands, ensuring a broad applicability.
