Threading a Water Line to the Door of a Kenmore Refrigerator

If water is leaking from under your Kenmore refrigerator then you may have a broken water line. The water line connects the water supply valve on the bottom backside of the refrigerator, and it runs underneath the unit to another connector located under the front door. You can replace the water line part and thread it properly under the refrigerator, and the replacement part can also be purchased from an online retailer or ordered from the Kenmore manufacturer.
