Remove
any kinks you find, and adjust the tubing to prevent the kink
from reoccurring. If necessary, use duct tape or some other fastener
to hold the tubing in place. If the kink cannot be removed, it
will be necessary to replace the tubing. Be
sure to use a "food grade" quality of tubing suitable
for transporting potable water.
When
you reach the water supply valve, also verify that it is turned
on to supply adequate pressure. Next, inspect
the water line from the inlet valve up the back of the freezer
to where it disappears inside the freezer.
If
the tube is leaking from any location other than a connection,
it will be necessary to replace the tubing. If possible, replace
the entire length of tube. However, if access or some other issue
makes replacement difficult, you may be able to successfully splice
in a piece of tubing. Note though that splices are more prone
to leaks and may result in the need for a future repair.
If
a leak occurs at a connection, attempt to tighten the connection.
Leaks might also be stopped with the use of a rubber washer inside
the connection or with the use of teflon tape wrapped around the
threads of a connection.
If you can find no constriction
that is preventing the flow of water. Try turning off the water
at the source, disconnect the supply line from the inlet valve,
place the supply line in a bucket and then turn on the water.
If water flows freely then you have confirmed that water is getting
to the water inlet valve.
