Whirlpool Refrigerator Leaking

Refrigerator model WRF989SDAH00 has a water tank and water valve in the ceiling of the fresh food section.  Seems like this Whirlpool refrigerator leaking from up under the ceiling panel.

An ice maker is located in upper left of refrigerator section.

You will find the water filter located in the ceiling on the upper right.

Because the water tank and water valve are in the ceiling of the fresh food section hence the ceiling cover must be removed.

So the unit leaks when water is drawn from the door dispenser.

As a result, we found a crack in the water tank tubing.

 Therefore by replacing the complete water tank the problem is solved.

A lot of Whirlpool’s water lines have been failing at the end 90* fitting. 

This is a product of problems.  

Thanks
