Hi,

Please double check your model# again, that one doesn't show as good.

Thanks for posting it.

The 0 after the 2 is a Q

The 6 after the 0(Q) is a G

So the model# for your model is KSRB22QGSS00

Here's the dispenser parts diagram for your model:
#10 is your tubing assembly that comes with the metal mounting bracket.


You just unsnap the dispenser frame off, underneath the bottom frame you will see 2 slots, just take a flathead screwdriver and pop that plastic frame off, then you can get good access to it.

Then undo the union connector behind your kickplate grille, then pull up the tubing from the front dispenser, after you remove the #22 screw that holds it in at the top.

Then when installing this new one, push the new tubing down through the channel hole that the old one was in, then just get something small to fish up in the bottom of your door channel, like a stubby screwdriver or pocket screwdriver and push the tubing down, or have someone help you push it down while you fish it through the bottom.

Don't worry, I changed lots of these and never even came close to breaking the line half way through the door when pull it out from the front dispenser.


Here's the tubing that comes out of your freezer door, in case others with your same model need to order it as well:
Manufacturer's Number: 4388152

4388152

Default Reciprocal tip

Jake
Thanks for your help.
I thought the door had to be disassembled
to replace the tubing.
.
Here is my reciprocal tip:
If you run a single house wire (like 14ga.) up the
old tubing before removal, you can use the wire
to guide the new tube thru the door
and the bottom hole.

Nope DMc, don't have to disassemble the door to change it.

Glad you got it.
