It sits among Electrolux fridge water and ice maker parts, where a check valve lets water flow one way only. No model list is on file. Check the tube sizes and the part number on your old fitting before ordering, as plumbed fridges use several similar connectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLeaks and backflow at a fridge water connector\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFridges with a water dispenser or ice maker are plumbed to the house supply through small plastic tubing and fittings. A check valve is a one way valve that stops water draining back out of the fridge lines or being pushed back towards the supply. When the valve sticks or its seals fail, you may notice drips at the joint, water pooling behind or under the fridge, a dispenser that dribbles after use, or slow flow. A cracked connector body from overtightening or a knock causes leaks too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Electrolux part 140063760015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnector with built-in check valve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJoins 5\/16 inch and 1\/4 inch tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor Electrolux group fridge water lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"part-specs\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eConnection sizes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5\/16 inch to 1\/4 inch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReplacing the connector\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurn off the water tap feeding the fridge and unplug it before you start. Have a towel ready for water left in the lines. Note which way the flow arrow or valve faces on the old connector, as a check valve only works one way.
