Product Description
Ensure reliable water delivery in your refrigerator’s dispenser or ice maker with the genuine OEM water line assembly part 8201537 from Whirlpool. This precision-designed tubing assembly connects the cold-water supply to the internal components of compatible refrigerator models. It replaces cracked, leaking or obstructed tubing that can impair water flow, cause leaks, or trigger service calls. Because plumbing and dispenser setups differ across models, please check with your maintenance technician prior to ordering to verify fit, length and connection style. whirlpoolparts.com+1

Compatibility Notes
-
Check the tube length, bend radius, and mounting bracket of the current installation; matching those ensures proper fit.
-
Water supply should be turned off and system depressurized before replacement to avoid leak or damage.
-
While tubing replacement restores flow, underlying issues like valve malfunction, filter clogging or water pressure irregularity may also require attention.
-
Because this part connects to water-supply and dispenser systems, it’s advised to have a technician confirm fitment and install correctly to avoid future issues.
