Whirlpool Side by side Fridge - ED5FHEXMB00 - HELP

[kanddmama]

My fridge jusst quit cooling and almost lost all of the food.  Sounds like the fan is on but not the compressor.  Any help would be great before I have to call a tech and drop some serious money.

Take the relay off the compressor and shake it.  If it rattles, it's bad.

You guys are the absolute BEST.  Problem was hubby already had the repair man on his way.  Ouch.  But now, there's a hole in the water line and want to know should I have him come fix it and take another hit or try myself?  It's the original so it's doubtful he tore it but still. Got a video for that?

Yeah I know what ya mean, I used to have a weak asz pc. This one I have now plays real good. Go down to the hardware store and take a piece of your tubing with you. Ask for a compression union in that size. Cut the tubing at the hole and use the union to fix the tubing. OR yall could always go buy a complete new tubing and run it from point A to point B.

So, I figure out it's the water filter line that got a hole.  What's the easiet way to detach the tubing from under the fridge?
