I heard a "hissing" noise and discovered a small spray-like leak on the plastic tube water line to my refrigerator. How do I repair it?

Simply replace the line. They sell inexpensive l ice maker supply kits at all hardware stores. Good luck, Tom

I'm a single mom and don't really have a clue when you say "replace the line". Are you saying the whole line or replace just that area where I see the pinhole leak?

Tom means to replace the whole line

I thought I could replace the line on my LG, but the line goes into Styrofoam at the top (toward the water filter) and then goes into the inside of the fridge at the bottom. I do not see any places where I can unscrew the line.

Jonmck,

This a year old post start a new thread and it will have more visiblity and some one will respond to you, Thanks.

Use crazy glue then seal with water proof tape { turn off water & dry tubing first }
Waterproof tape is expensive but cheaper than a plumber

Not really good advice by Rajahdex... especially on a plumbing page!

Best advice is to replace the line OR cut out the bad section and fix using simple 1/4" compression couplings... super easy to install and also cheaper than a plumber's service call!

Hello Rajahdex,

First of all welcome to thiswebsite, second you responded to a two years old post always check the date on the left top corner of the thread, Third your advice doesnot work in this case the best adcices are giving by Tom and Mark, Thanks.

I have same problem. Can I get the 1/4" compression couplings in a kit?

Its not a kit, just a thing. Any hardware store, Home Depot, Lowe's should have them.
