how do I replace the water line in the freezer door because it has been broken inside the door and it leaks when I use the water dispenser?

I apparently have the same or similar problem. I can get water to dispense at the union at the base of the fridge, but there must be a plug or break in the line between the union and the door dispenser.
Gene, how do you install the new fill line? How do you route it back up through the door to the dispenser?
Thanks

It's a ED25CQXFB02.
And I did fix my problem (left the door open ~ 1 hour; apparently the line was frozen).
But just in case (preparing for the possibility?) I would like to know how to change the line.
Thanks

Thanks Gene.
Any tips on how to feed the new line back through the door?

How do I replace the line running from the water spout, through the door, out the hinge (I think) and into the union (which is clearly visible at this time? Thanks for your prompt reply. Cybolt
