Water leaking from rear of refrigerator near water line connection.

Safety First: Turn off the water supply and unplug the refrigerator before working on water connections.

Steps:

• Inspect connections: Check the water line from the house supply to the refrigerator inlet valve. Tighten compression or quick-connect fittings as needed.
• Check for cracks: Examine plastic tubing for splits or kinks. Replace any damaged sections with Whirlpool-approved water tubing.
• Inspect valve: If water seeps from the valve body itself, replace the water inlet valve assembly.
• After repairs, slowly turn water back on and check for leaks while the system is under pressure.
