Bought a second hand american style fridge freezer (whirlpool). and all there is at the back is a small tube about 5mm in diameter i was wondering how you plumb it in
That is the water inlet for the ice maker. It is 1/4 inch diameter and will need to connect to a valve of that size with 1/4 inch plastic or copper tubing.

The lock and unlock feature is accomplished by holding the lock button for 3 seconds, and you will see a count down number just above it that indicates 3, then 2, then 1, and a soft tone along with the lock icon appears. To reverse this hold the same button for 3 seconds following the same procedure and the unlock icon will appear.
you have to reset the timer. Usually holding the filter reset button, if there is one, for an extended period (3 second or more) Find the manual on line if you don't have it. Most fridges have the instruction in very small print next to the filter light.
its the compresor packed up,,,if this compresor is not pumping freezer gas around the pipe work the freezer wont work sorry but a new compresor is not a cheep thing to have fitted as it will need a re-gas as well
There is a tube at the back of most fridges which routes freezer water to a evaporator tray at the bottom.
Usually in the fridge at the top just below the freezer is a small collection cup. If that cup or tube is blocked then it will drip water into your fridge.
I had probably the same problem. After a little discussion with the factory they sent a technician as a "Good Will Gesture." The technician told me it was the control board down by the compressor. I overheard a conversation between he and his central repair office that it was a common problem. The factory would not admit it. I have a feeling the electronic control board he replace (which would have cost several hundred bucks) was probably made in China. Now I'm having more problems with my Ohio made Whirlpool side-by-side. The freezer is working fine, the fridge is not very cold. By the way, the internal lights was one of the keys to the problems.
don't worry! find out a valve in the back of the refrigerator and after that connect the outlet with it. if there is no valve than there would be a hole behind the refrigerator....... just connect the outlet with it.............................have a nice day :-)
