Removing Water Line Refrigerator?

Question

Hello, I am moving to a new house and since my current house has not sold yet I decided to take the refrigerator with me and just replace it with a cheaper one. It is a refrigerator with an icemaker and water. Does anyone know how do remove the water line and keep it from leaking? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Usually when you are installing a water line for an ice maker you use a saddle valve. If you can follow the 3/16 inch water line coming off refrigerator you will see this valve. It has a "T-handle" on it. If you turn this t-handle all the way in, clockwise, you will shut off the water that is supplied to the ice maker. Place a dish or something under the fitting at the refrigerator and loosen the nut about a turn or two. Some water will leak out. If the water doesn't stop or at least slow down, tighten the nut back up and go to plan B.

If the line was just tapped in to the water line you can remove it & put a clamp on the water line. ( It goes with out saying that the water should be turned off first)



You just tighten a piece of rubber over the hole with a clamp.

Most hardware store sell them. You just have to know the size of the pipe so you get the right one.



If there was a fitting in the line you might just need a cap or a plug that fits the pipe fitting.

Answer 4

Pretty easy to do.



First, pull out the fridge and turn off the tap at the source on the wall.



Second, you can unscrew the line at the wall and let it drain into a small bowl



Last, tape up the line so the end it nearest the top of the fridge.



Done!

it incredibly is much less complicated to basically replace the lines , and turn to an entire homestead clear out that hooks on on your considerable line , in case you do no longer already have one plastic lines for some reason seem to have extra junk the two created interior the line or flowing interior the direction of the line than copper lines , I replaced my entire homestead over , once I replaced a water heater ,and observed each and all of the vile , disgusting , stinky sh*t that got here out of the connecting lines , and the water heater itself .
