W11506635 - Whirlpool Refrigerator Coupler

This Whirlpool Refrigerator Coupler (W11506635) is a genuine part manufactured by Whirlpool for use in their refrigerators. It ensures a demountable connection between the water line and the interior tubing that feeds the ice and water dispenser. Made of sturdy plastic, this coupler features threaded nuts on each side that, when tightened, compress integral O-ring seals to prevent leaks. It includes shut-off valves to isolate each side during servicing, which enhances its serviceability. Notably, this coupler enables easy disconnection of the refrigerator from the main water supply for maintenance or movement without harming the internal tubing, ensuring a secure, sealed connection at the crucial transition point between external and internal water lines. Symptoms that may indicate this part is failing include a loose, damaged, or leaking coupler, which must be replaced to maintain water flow and prevent any potential leaks. Before purchasing, please verify your device's model number to ensure compatibility with this essential refrigerator component.
