Lg 4004JA3002A Refrigerator Water Tube Clip OEM Part

I opened the front cover (breaking the spear that holds it in place on the right hand side), easily removed the defective reservoir and replaced it with the new one. I also replaced the front cover with a new cover to make up for the broken spear. Took less than 10 minutes.

Replaced tubing and fitting

Replaced one hose and union with clip.

Ordered replacement assembly. Part ended up in middle of state before finally arriving at my home. Hardest part of repair was to remove food and refrigerator to do the work. I had watched videos which were pretty horrible. I was able to make it very simple by shutting off water, draining line and disconnecting everything in back. Then removed assembly and pulled out of refrigerator. The replacement part was easy to put in just be careful of the hook area, slide easy no force or you may break a part. No force needed in any part of assembly or disassembly. Put your screws and tubing clips in a couple of bags or wrap up in something. 1 screw is a little different than the others. everything works great. Took my time.

The video was helpful in showing where the line went after entering the refrigerator. Once inside the door, instead of finding a detachable reservoir, I found a tightly wound coil of plastic tubing, all one piece with the leaking tubing. I needed to stop the repair, reassemble the door, and determine how to install the new tubing properly. Ended up cutting the tubing as far from the coil as I could get, then fished the new line to the coil. Connected the two with the 90 degree connector. It works. What might have helped: 1. directions for the coil-reservoir model 2. when searching for a 180 degree 1/4" John Guest union, I was shown pages and pages of things that were NOT John Guest unions. Your search engine seems to be indiscriminate at times.
