You are the only simple and direct one out of the many that I watched. Very helpful. Did it the wrong way many months back but paid with flooding last night. Got it right now after watching your video 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏽

[@wendyb3420]

Thank you so much for your video! I’m feeling much more confident in fixing my water line on my fridge! So helpful!!

[@ItsBetrix]

You don’t even understand how much time you saved me! Thank you

[@paboot]

Thank you Paula, was trying to figure out how the line was set up when I found your site. I had been to Homedepot but they were of no help. Turns out all we had to do was take the little black cap off and screw on the steel braided line that was there from the one we replaced. Many thanks for your video again, Regards,PaulB

[@michaeltyrrell3381]

Thanks for this. The manual just shows the lines at the top. And only explains how to connect to the water line in the house.

[@duncanfoster6335]

So happy you put this together. I was looking at the top too and didn't notice the true connection. After watching, I connected in minutes. thank you

[@Misschf2]

You just saved me so so much time because I was going to start with the top fitting too! Thank you!!!

[@karinarasoarcaute5139]

You did a very good job and helped me a lot. I watched tons of videos and I couldn’t figure it. It is good that women do this type of things. You encourage me! Thank you!

[@susanhallworth551]

Thank you! I am going to attempt this. Thanks for your dad teaching you and gifting his tools to you and your son.

[@HL-hr1bs]

this is the only video that worked thank you. No one else stated to remove the cap

[@teacherrr8008]

Good lesson dear. I am a dad and my daughter (22now) is keen learning my technical (I was a Tool Maker by profession 20 years ago and have all tools a handy man needs) abilities helping me- your side story is real inspiration. Thank you

[@teacherrr8008]

Just completed the task All good Took more time than it required , bit of drilling and plumbing involved Bought stuff even before the fridge arrived- provided water tube is excess now.. will find it useful later. Thanks for this video. Very useful

[@Masry-Assil]

Thank you you made my day. This is not even well explained in the owner's manual By the way if you changed your fridge, it would be a good idea to change this pipe too to avoid any water damage due to rupture of the old dried pipe.

[@mzpisces78]

It doesn't!!!!

[@jibrimayo71]

I so enjoyed this video. I was singing with you at end. I just bought an LG fridge and I kept looking at the top to connect as well. Thanks for the video.

[@LindsayLinklater]

Awesome job! Loved that you shared the story about your dads tools ❤️❤️. Side thought, I believe you are to run in down threw the metal where the blue tube was to help not have it bend when pushing the fridge in and out.

[@Frances864]

THANK YOU!!!! You just saved me wrecking my brand new fridge. I never looked down either.

[@sheresec5454]

YOU ROCK! That was helpful for me. I just need to get the water line installed now...lol

[@flughole]

Thank you!! I made the same exact mistake, this was so helpful. The installation paperwork is almost useless...

[@Jester2b04]

I couldn't agree more ! Manual was Rediculous

[@casserole317]

Nicely done. I got stuck on finding the outlet too.

[@brenth1812]

Thank you for this video!! It appears that we have the same fridge. I was thinking the same as you about the initial connection because the owner’s manual instructions are junk. Your text adds at the very beginning cleared that up. Perfect description and filming to knock this out quickly. Thank you!!

[@captainyak3948]

I haven't installed my fridge yet but I am gathering some info and this is a very good one. Thanks!

[@rajeevgowda633]

Thank you so much for detailed instruction. After Home Depot delivery guys refused to connect the water line to brand new refrigerator (they refused it because it copper line) and not even telling me where to connect, I watched your video and did it myself. Why do we even pay the installation fee ? :(

[@Latifi5]

Thank you so much! This video really helped me. I too was confused about connecting the water tube to the top part of the fridge.

[@personalaccount4360]

Thanks! I was reading through the manual, and it really seemed like it wanted me to just start cutting away through these plastic tubes. I was lucky and just had to screw the fitting on. Didn't even have to leave the house.

[@elego49]

BRAVO!!! Thank you Ms Stout. Just what I needed to know.

[@walterheiland5772]

Thank you very much. I was trying to figure out where to connect the water line until I found you. It's valid for model LRFWS2906V, too. Thanks a lot.

[@PaulGBell]

Great video, well done! Inspirational, as well as, hands on instruction without the crazy loud music playing like most of the other KZbin video’s! Thank You*****

[@ianwhite3139]

Thanks Paula . . I'm just up to the same task, and you're video was so much clearer than anything else I've found. Kudos to you!

[@bonnieborgeson3200]

Oh Paula, I have the exact same set up. I was transferring the hose from old fridge to new Whirlpool that is identical to your LG back. Thank you, yes your Daddy was right. So much we can do when your past the intimidation. It sure didn't explain how to disconnect and connect in the manual very well.

[@hirod_agha]

God bless your heart. Many thanks for sharing this. It was a great help. I followed your instruction and my LG fridge water dispenser is now working.

[@ida2love]

Thank you for this video. You helped me to hook my refrigerator myself.

[@cindymunoz9160]

Thank you so very much , I was installing my new fridge my self and them I was confuse on the Manuel explanation and them thought about looking on KZbin and got it done ❤

[@AlwaysBeingAlwaysBecoming]

Thank you for this video. I was just about to follow the exact same path when it occurred to me to search for a video. What we do without KZbin and folks like yourself!

[@PureMagma]

Same!!!

[@marcoluoma3770]

Thanks! Just the info I needed.

[@alanmaskey1009]

Thank you. I needed to disconnect the waterline from my LG fridge just like your's.

[@electrobodyboarder]

Im going to install the water line later today and was searching how to do it. Thank you for the tip.

[@ruckuswethepeep4384]

Gog bless our great ol Pops! Gods gift to us that keep on giving 🙏 I miss mine daily too!

[@jaythomas9398]

Did ya Daddy not teach you to use the right tool for the job? But pillars work just as well.😉 My daughter fixes many of her own things, too. I just don't watch and know better then to say a word.🤐 You're doing a great job.👏👏

[@mearambu]

Thank you! Answered my question in the first 15sec

[@juz4kix]

Great video. I a a tradesman and saw the little lightning bolt on the plate and was concerned that it was some stupid attachment for an antenna booster for the WiFi. Figured it out but you confirmed it for me.

[@bbyparit]

That is a good point! I didn’t even think of that.

[@marykayjones4020]

Sounds like our Dads were the same. Enjoyed you nice little side story!

[@mikemartinez3502]

I honestly liked your side story, you dad would be proud! Something I want to teach my 3 girls! Thank you for this share for both your side story and the information about this LG fridge. God bless

[@briannabryan2014]

Thank you 🙏🏾 so helpful. Just installed my fridges waterline

[@vanzettydurant]

Perfect. Thank for this instructions. Now Iam clear

[@TheAllang123]

Nicely done. Just finished my install thanks to your video and tips. Thanks again and good for your Dad ;)

[@normvork4063]

Thanks. I could not figure out where to connect.

[@petertse191]

Great video, glad I found it, save me so much runaround from the LG video that was useless

[@peden33]

I enjoyed your story about your dad. 👍

[@ServiceMasterlex]

Nice work. You need to use a plastic ferrule on the end of the nut to keep it locked in place.

[@joebassanello3441]

I just bought a new fridge too...I'm not surprised you originally thought it connected at the top/rear /right side because that's what the manual says to do ...good job tho👍

[@munirh44]

Was doing the same thing. Thanks

[@edgarvilchez4471]

More thorough then some plumbers. Good job.

[@ruichen1809]

Thanks Paula, your video is really helpful!

[@AlexusM2]

Thank you!! 😊 very great & hands on video!

[@keltheb]

Great job. I would recommend replacing that line with a braided steel line. These plastic lines do fail sometimes and the damage can be extraordinary. The braided lines are not expensive and can be found in many lengths for cheap piece of mind.

[@bbyparit]

Good idea!!

[@davidpoto9856]

just got a brand new lg and my old line did kink and stop the flow. new stainless is now working fine. craft ice baby!

[@jolo4291]

You go girl 👍 good for u. So relate to all your Dad comments💕. And thx for the helpful video

[@reesea365]

Hahahahaha I died of laughter when the water came out and you started singing LOL!!!!

[@tomn5880]

I would advise using an armored shield water line rather than just pex line. Additionally, I would advise that the shut off valve be moved from the pipe to the first floor just above the access hole.

[@FaizulHamid]

I thank you dad as well, liked your video

[@peterj2563]

Thanks Paula you confirmed my suspicions.

[@jerrybennett1261]

Thank you, I paid lowes to hook up my refrigerator but a according to them that means plugging it into the outer. So thank you again I will have cold water tonight.

[@ashwindevakumar6336]

Thank you it really helped . 🙏🏻

[@Tubavagyok]

Thank you . Saved me an install service

[@geekthings8454]

Glad it worked out for you.

[@Jester2b04]

You've helped me out today ! Your video was clear to understand and I have same setup. Thnx again

[@edwinxtremeboost.k2483]

Thank you very helpful my wife needs to learn from you..

[@patriciaschlie6913]

I love your video!, I’m in the same installation problem, but watching yours, clarified a lot!. Bottom connector. You make me laugh with your Aleluya!!!!, I’m gonna do the same!

[@maurodesordi305]

Thank you Dear! I had the same situation and you make my day much easier 🤗🌻

[@deedee9543]

Thank tou for helping me do it myself ❣️

[@JM7772010]

Thank you for posting!

[@ronlaverdiere]

Thanks, I was worried about that one line that has nothing connected to it - thought maybe something was missing but I see you have it too.

[@xthegoodfight1]

Those saddle valves often fail/leam over time, use a 9v water alarm if you're going to keep it. Also, plastic compression fitting inside the brass coupler plus some thread goo will help seal your connection.

[@safetydoggo.4701]

Awesome! Video. Thank you!

[@walterlamb5555]

Lol, should have watched this first. I couldn’t figure out the connection either and was almost off to the hardware store.

[@mikeo8869]

Thanks You answered my question 👍

[@gustavoacosta215]

A literal lifesaver

[@jorgepimentel4934]

Good job, thanks for all the help 😃

[@1dartow]

Great job...Live and learn.

[@dontdoitbro5495]

Loved the story about ur dad.

[@eleanorkersey2838]

Thanks for info

[@frozenprakash]

3:10 You should use a proper sized wrench/spanner from that huge box rather than plier :D

[@filiztasdemir4080]

Thank you so much. It was an understandable video. Have a wonderfull day

[@zod56]

Thanks for the info! It was exactly what I was looking for.

[@alpinemedia1822]

Thank you fridge queen

[@erikwiedmann7958]

There's a kit at Home Depot for the hookup. They come in different lengths for a 1/4" fitting.

[@lenruvolo9251]

Perfect video. Loved the hallelujah!!!

[@bigbirdsmalltree]

The plastic hose is better than a copper tube that can break when moving the fridge and flood your home, but I recommend a breaded metal like flexible hose, I feel is safer. Because if that hose breaks the water will come out non stop. I fact many condo rules won't even allow you to connect a fridge to a water line.

[@luispliego7979]

You are amazing. Thank you so much

[@eliudsalazar6373]

you help me in one second.

[@VisionaryVicky]

Good job! I gotta do it also

[@deliriumsyrup]

Thank you!

[@derrickdgb1]

Thank You!!!

[@Flex_On_Em_]

So you didn't use the little ferrells on the inside of the compression nut? Looks like you just used the sleeve inside the line and then connected the compression nut to the back of the fridge. Is it still holding up? I ask because everything Ive read and watched says ferrells are needed to prevent leaks

[@bbyparit]

Yes. It held up perfectly. :)

[@jasonm7634]

Very Helpful, thank you!

[@unluckyneighbor4063]

You go girl!!

[@PBandJ8]

Hi, I just wanted to say I enjoyed your little green Bissell cleaning hack video. Thanks! Unfortunately, comments and options to share & save are turned off on that video. If you change that, please let me know by responding. Thanks again!

[@bbyparit]

Thank you for letting me know I think I fixed it.

[@joyz76]

Thank you! Your video was VERY helpful! I bought the kit also for $13 at ACE - DONE!

[@ericaw7548]

Same thank you!!!! We almost broke ours too!! Had to stop and try KZbin !

[@unclefreddieDied]

i could be wrong but i think you're missing the plastic ferrell (compression sleeve)

[@bbyparit]

I may need you to show me a picture of what you’re talking about that everything was there and everything works great! But send me a picture if you want me to check into it.

[@stephenchurchill3929]

@@bbyparit Its called a ferrule, sleeve or olive, it should have come with the compression fitting, its the part that compresses the plastic pipe to the inner brass sleeve. Your intution was right its needed to make a lasting waterproof fit. For plastic pipes/hoses like this, I read that you should use a plastic and not a metal ferrule since the metal ferrell could cut into the plastic pipe. i.stack.imgur.com/H6pCQ.jpg Great video overall.

[@karinarasoarcaute5139]

Yes, you are right! I just did mine, without that plastic the water line comes out 😳

[@mikeshlyak7070]

This is a great video. ALSO, the standard size for LG is 1/4 inch exterior female compression nut. Most fridges come with 1/4 inch plastic pipe. This should save you time on researching. And yes, I'd consider the plastic ferrule, it literally looks like a ring and is sometimes called an "olive" in the plumbing world. You must orient it correctly too. Easiest way to know is to look at the ferrule sideways (pretend you had a ring on your finger) and find the side that appears to be narrowing slowly/stretched out. That side would be facing the toward the brass sleeve. The brass sleeve is that piece that was inserted into the plastic pipe which prevents the pipe from collapsing. This way, when you tighten the brass nut, the ferrule with be flush and push onto the plastic pipe and align perfectly with the brass sleeve on the interior of the plastic pipe and it creates a very tight seal so water cannot escape. If you have good experience, you can consider a brass ferrule, but be warned, if you are not careful, the brass will cut into the plastic piping, damage it, and you will have leaks. A general rule for newbies, like-with-like material. So plastic tubing + plastic ferrule is great as long as you have the brass nut on the exterior, and the brass sleeve on the interior of the plastic pipe you will be solid. Finally, tyflon tape for extra sealing/leak prevention added to the fridge threads before adding the plastic pipe and sealing with the exterior nut.

[@Theultimatebohab7137]

Tehe this is funny!😁 Yo you're going to have to hit that with a wrench of the correct size probably like a quarter inch... I'm not worried about how to get the water out of the dispenser once you get past all this point mine just sits there and like trickles out little drips...🤷

[@teddyherrera7468]

Thank You
