Cleaning Refrigerator Lines and Water Reservoir |
|
|
|
I need to find out if there is any way to clean (instead of replace) the lines and water reservoir in my "Whirlpool" refrigerator icemaker/water unit. Someone suggested vinegar but I would like to know if there is any to force [under pressure] the vinegar (or other cleaner) through the line and reservoir to make sure they are clean.

RE: Cleaning Refrigerator Lines and Water Reservoir
Try placing baking soda in the lines and then pouring in hot vinegar. I've used this in my sink drain and the combination creates a volcano effect. Since I don't know the logistics of the lines and water reservoir in your refrigerator (are they removeable, for instance), this may not be a viable solution but I thought it was worth a try.
Hope it helps!
RE: Cleaning Refrigerator Lines and Water Reservoir
Here's a link for a repair manual that mentions your problem. It was all I could find but mentions clogged water lines. http://www.appliance-repair.org/Diag/service_manuals/lesson_09/table_of_contents09_visible.html
Vinegar is a good unclogger and de-liming agent but I don't know if you can get to the lines to force water through them.
Good Luck,
Susan
