Thread: How to clean water/ice dispenser tubing with vinegar?

Ok, I'm my 20 plus years of appliance repair I've never ever cleaned out the plastic water line with vinager or anything else, as I knew the results would still not be good, as you see on yours.

There's not a way to clean out that water tank that I'm aware of. From all the ones I've run into like this I always replace the water tank assembly.

Here's the water tank assembly for your model you can order here:
Manufacturer's Number: R0131625




Its fairly easy to change, you just cut the plastic water lines from the outside of the back of your refrigerator before they go into the refrigerator section, make sure you have some slack, don't cut the lines too close to where the go into the refrigerator section from the back.

Then you remove the tank, should be 1 or 2 screws holding it in place, then install the new tank, and use the compression fittings that come with the new tank to reconnect the 2 water lines you cut.

Thats it.

Its #11 here, its located behind your crispers in the lower half of your refrigerator section:
