I have a GE Profile refrigerator model TFH30PR that developed a leak. The water line within the refrigerator that leads to the water dispenser developed a crack at the very beginning where it was connected to the inlet line I presume after a dual solenoid valve. I cut the cracked tubing off and reinserted it, and it is held in place by a plastic sleeve that seems to function like a compression sleeve. The piece I cut off looks like it has a very small ridge, and I’m worried that the ridge kept the plastic tubing from slipping out. It is not leaking now. Is this something I should be worried about? If so what would I need to do? Thank you for any advice you can provide.

This is my EXACT problem. This line runs OUTSIDE the rear of the unit. The TOP plastic piece is a slip fit molded plastic (nylon) fitting. The bottom end of the plastic hose-pipe is heat formed into a gentle curve that is screwed into the inside threaded port of the blue valve.

Is this a replacement parts KIT, or is it something that a service technician must be called to provide on site service to fix?

jkovacs, If you have the compression ring on it and it's not leaking you should have nothing to worry about. the ridge is on from the factory to keep the compression on during assembly

hcb35, this is something you can do yourself.

I have the same GE refrigerator & also have a leak.

The 1st leak is near the top of the backside, where the water line enters the unit. I believe the large plastic piece is cracked but could not find a part number to order to replace that.

The 2nd leak is at the bottome around the valve.

How did you guys repair that & what part numbers did you purchase?

Thanks,

Mike

Mike,

Did you ever find the top part where it slips on?
I've got the same problem.

Thanks
