The 12IM60 Genuine OEM Fluidmaster Ice Maker Braided Supply Line is a 60-inch refrigerator ice-maker water supply connector designed to carry water from the household water supply to the refrigerator's ice maker.

This genuine Fluidmaster replacement supply line is an ideal choice when an existing refrigerator ice-maker water line is leaking, damaged, kinked, or due for replacement. Appliance Kingdom serves customers across Canada with appliance replacement parts and ships nationwide.

Function & Importance of the Ice Maker Supply Line

The ice-maker supply line delivers water from the refrigerator's water supply connection to the ice maker. Proper water flow is essential for the ice maker to fill correctly and produce ice as designed.

The 12IM60 uses a braided stainless steel exterior surrounding a flexible inner core. Fluidmaster specifies the connector with 1/4-inch compression connections at both ends and a 60-inch overall length.

A properly sized and correctly connected water supply line helps reduce the risk of leaks, kinks, and restricted water flow. Using a purpose-designed ice-maker connector is important because the connection size, length, flexibility, and pressure characteristics need to be appropriate for the application.

Common Symptoms Indicating Replacement

A damaged or deteriorated ice-maker supply line can contribute to:

• Water leaking behind or around the refrigerator

• Ice maker not receiving water

• Ice maker not filling properly

• Reduced or interrupted water flow to the ice maker

• Visible kinks or creases in the supply line

• Cracked, worn, or damaged tubing or fittings

• Water appearing on the floor near the refrigerator

AMRE Supply specifically identifies the 12IM60 as a possible repair solution for an ice maker that will not fill or for leaking water, while noting that other components can cause similar symptoms.

Will Replacing the 12IM60 Fix My Ice Maker Problem?

If the water supply line is leaking, damaged, kinked, or restricting the water supply, replacing it can restore proper water delivery to the ice maker.

However, an ice maker that is not filling can also have other causes, including problems elsewhere in the refrigerator's water-delivery system. If the supply line appears intact and water flow is normal, further diagnosis may be necessary before replacing it.

Installation Overview

Replacing an ice-maker supply line is generally a straightforward plumbing repair and may be suitable for an experienced DIYer.

Before installation, shut off the refrigerator's water supply. Disconnect the existing line carefully, install the new 12IM60 using the appropriate compression connections, and check both ends for leaks after restoring the water supply.

Do not overtighten compression fittings, as excessive force can damage the connection. If the refrigerator's water connection is difficult to access or you are not comfortable working with water-supply connections, professional installation is recommended.
