Description
Keep your refrigerator’s water/ice system working properly with the genuine OEM water line kit, part number WR17X1483, manufactured by GE. This kit functions as the plastic water line and connector assembly (outlet/inlet) for compatible GE refrigerators. Because water line routing, tubing diameter (¼″ or 5⁄16″) and connector type can vary by model and production year, please check with your maintenance technician to confirm that WR17X1483 matches your appliance’s full model number and that the tubing/connector is indeed the part needing replacement. geapplianceparts.com+1

-
Durable construction: built to resist cracking, kinking or leaking under normal freezer/refrigerator conditions.
-
Cost-effective repair: instead of replacing major plumbing or entire harness assemblies, replacing the tubing kit can correct leaks or restricted flow.
-
Service-friendly: with compatibility confirmed and technician oversight, this part is straightforward to install and helps get your system back to normal sooner.
Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement
-
Water is leaking from the tubing under the back of the refrigerator, particularly near the inlet or outlet connections.
-
The ice maker is not filling or ice production is significantly reduced, possibly due to restricted or collapsed tubing.
-
The water/ice dispenser flow is weak or intermittent, indicating potential internal line damage or kink.
-
The tubing is visibly brittle, cracked, discolored, or the connector is detached or loose.
If you notice any of these symptoms, please have your maintenance technician verify that the tubing/connector is the failing component and that WR17X1483 is the correct part for your model.
Compatibility / Partial Model Notes
-
The WR17X1483 kit is listed by GE as the “Plastic water line and connector” for select refrigerators. geappliances.com+1
-
It is described in parts catalogs as “Tube Kit-Outlet & Inlet” and compatible with models from GE, Hotpoint and Kenmore built units. Reliable Parts+1
-
Because the internal water line routing, connector size and mounting can vary between models, production years and regions, you must verify your appliance’s full model number (including suffix) and confirm the old tubing diameter and connector style with your technician before ordering.
Cross Reference
-
Some parts listings refer to this as a replacement for older part number WR17X903 (or WR17X0903) in certain model applications. Reliable Parts
-
Confirm all part numbers in your system to ensure exact match and fit.
Compatibility Notes
-
Matching the entire appliance model number (including suffix letters) is essential—even if the old tubing appears identical because slight differences in bracket mounting and tube routing may exist.
-
Replacing this line restores proper water connection only if the rest of the system (water supply line, valve, filter, ice maker fill tube) is functioning correctly. If there are additional failures, symptoms may persist.
-
Installation overview (for a qualified technician): Disconnect power and water supply to the refrigerator, remove back panel access if needed, remove old tubing/connector (note diameter and routing path), install the new WR17X1483 kit by aligning and securing connections, check for kinks or interference, restore water and power, then test for leaks, proper ice maker fill and dispenser flow.
