How to Replace the Water Tube Door on a Whirlpool Refrigerator

Several models of Whirlpool refrigerators include side-by-side doors and have a water line that goes through the side of the front freezer door. If you notice water coming from the bottom base grille of the front of the refrigerator, the water line in the freezer door may have a rip in it and need to be replaced. You can manually remove the old water tube from the door and reinsert a new tube part, which can be ordered from the Whirlpool manufacturer.
