When do you need to replace this part? How do you know you need to do it? In other words, what goes wrong with the refrigerator? Thanks
@debzere Generally, this part needs to be replaced when experiencing one of the following symptoms: 1) Icemaker not filling with water, 2) Leaking water from refrigerator, 3) No water flow to ice maker.

Good video, easy to understand and helpful. Thank you.
Thank you for this video great help!!!
@swings38 No problem! Thanks for the feedback, we love hearing that people are finding the videos useful.
Thanks for the video I am going to try to replace this part since my refrigerator is leaking, even though, I never hooked up the water filter to my water supply.
@Rsd79 Great to hear, DIY is the way to go! This video has great step by step instructions and you don’t need any previous DIY experience to follow along and complete the repair properly. It gets easier and faster the more you DIY! Good luck and let us know if you have any other questions.
@partselect
thanks for the reply. It is a whirlpool fridge about 6 years old, for which I never hooked up the water filter. I have all the tools, except, I have to order the part. I am going to call whirlpool and make sure I have the right part for my model. From your video it seems easy enough. I would consider myself a intermediate at DIY projects. I have done some small DIY repair here and there (ie. garage door opener, shed, cabinet and such).
@Rsd79 You’re right to double check and make sure this is the right part – a leaky fridge can be any number of things. If you’d like to let me know your model #, I can give you some more specific direction on how to fix your issue. You can also input that number into our Virtual Repairman at partselect . com – this will give you a list of possible parts specific to your model and your issue, as well as directions on how other people with the same problem have made the repair.
my ice maker is not working,in my refrigerator.thank you
@GalaXy808 Hi there, if you give me a little bit more information I’m sure we can help. For starters, what is the model number of your fridge? It’s possible your issue involves the water inlet valve on your fridge or the defrost timer. I’m going to direct message you a couple of links to get you started and we’ll go from there.
Hi, I accidently pulled one of the water line and messed up the quick connect insert. Do you sell just the quick connect insert or do I need to buy the whole inlet water valve.
@MrTrungtan Oooooh no, that’s too bad about your water line! Depending on what parts are available for your model you might be able to buy just the connect insert, instead of the entire water inlet valve kit. Send me your model # and I’ll check for you!
@partselect That would be great. It is actually for a Frigidaire gallery model #FGHC2344K1. It don’t seem to be the standard 1/4 or 3/8 od hose and it look to be a 5/16 od plastic hose. If you do have the insert that would be great. Also I need the quick connect for it as well if you have it. The one that ties two hose together. Thank you for the help
@MrTrungtan Hi again, I’m having a bit of trouble with your model number. Are you sure it isn’t FGHC2344KF1 (I added an F in towards to the end)?
@partselect I’m sorry it took this long to reply but yeah, you are right. That is the model number as you have stated.
