A kinked water line behind the fridge slows or stops the ice maker and dispenser. Here is the Milwaukee guide.
The kink
Pushing the fridge back can fold the supply line, cutting the flow.
The fix
Pull the fridge out, straighten or reroute the line, and leave slack.
The upgrade
A braided stainless line resists kinking better than plastic.
The call
Fix the flow. Call 888-217-3585 and Milwaukee Plumbing Helpers will match you with a Milwaukee pro.
