You read correctly, I fixed my fridge tonight!! Just one more trip to Home Depot with Jim combined with a little brain power and I finally got it hooked up and leak free! It felt so so sooo amazing when I turned that water valve on and water didn’t instantly spritz everywhere. That’s all for now. A silly burden has been lifted and I will sleep well tonight. Praise the Lord!!

Good Job! Did you replace the line to the fridge?

well, yes, but that’s not ultimately what fixed it. I still had to use the adapter I was trying to use for the copper tubing. But I added a little plastic compression thing to it and used some teflon tape. I’m not even sure if the plastic piece is meant for the nut thing I used but it worked and it hasn’t leaked, so I’m not touching it!
