Mend American Style Fridge Freezer

Plumbing in an american style fridge freezer?

Hi
Just purchased one of the above. Also bought a Y connector to feed off the cold tap of the washing machine and a brass adaptor (one end fits on the Y connector, the other connects the feed on the fridge) My problem is, no matter how tight i make it, and even though I'm using an olive I'm still getting water leaking from where the fridge freezer pipe connects into the brass adaptor - No idea what to do next - Can anybody help?

Try wrapping some PTFE tape around the olive before tightening.

you must of overtightened and crushed the olive to much. any olive fitting only needs hand tight the nipping up with an adjustable spanner.
