A few notes on a section of the refrigerators water fill system for the icemaker and chilled water system....the "Y" hose....

 

Amana and Maytag have used an "Y" connector which brought two water lines into one, this was often right after the fill valve. The "Y" connector can be in the icemaker or chilled water lines, or both. This connector has had problems with leaking/breaking and is now no longer available. This page is to help with the replacement parts to remove the "Y" connector.

The "Y" connector can be removed and is now replaced with a fill valve designed to be much better than the original equipment! 

 

An example of the instructions from the Maytag kit....
