I had to take the doors off my refrigerator to move it through a doorway. I put everything back together, but the part (picture below) that connects the freezer door's water dispenser to the fridge's water supply now leaks when I try to dispense water.
What is this part called?
Is there a trick to reattaching this piece that would prevent the leak?
If I've damaged the piece, where should I find a replacement?
I've seen that piece called a Water Connector Union Fitting and a Tubing Coupler.
Verify the size of the tubing, but if it's the normal 5/16" to 1/4" it should be easy to get a replacement at any larger hardware store, such as this. The ones I've seen (that look just like yours) don't require any tools, other than possibly a blade to cut a bit of the tubing off at the end if it's calcified - you just insert the tube.
You might also check to see if your tube just got pulled out a bit - it's possible it doesn't require replacement.
