Hi.
There are two water lines coming out of the water valve. One to the ice maker to the top right and another one under to water holding tank. The first one is 1/4", second one is 5/16". To repair broken line you need about one foot of new tubing and push on coupling. Cut off dry portion of the old tube and install the new one.
Thank you.

It's the 5/16 line & I need to replace it up to the filter. How is that done?

Hi.
Just use two feet long 5/16 tubing. Insert one end in to the water valve and use the 5/16 coupling to connect new tube to the existing one. Cut them to fit.
Thank you.

Instead of wasting my time answer my question if you can. If I could have just added a splice I would have.

Hello. Sorry if you feel that I am wasting you time. Would you please clarify which part do you call "switch" and also the model number that you provided is incorrect. I'm guessing again, but I think this is what you need. Head and tub Part number: AP3414864
