Connecng Ice Maker to Water Supply
Unplug the refrigerator. To eliminate the danger of electric shock during installaon, you must
unplug the refrigerator from its electrical outlet.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that your water supply line connecons comply with all local plumbingcodes.
Before Installing the Water Supply Line, You Will Need
•Basic tools: adjustable wrench, flat blade screwdriver, and Phillips
TM
screwdriver.
•Access to a household cold water line with water pressure between 20 and 120 psi.
•A water supply line made of 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) OD, copper tubing. To determine the length of copper
tubing needed, you will need to measure the distance from the ice maker inlet valve at the back of the
refrigerator to your cold water pipe. Then add approximately 7 feet (2.1 meters), so the refrigerator can be
moved out for cleaning.
•A shutoff valve to connect the water supply line to your household water system. DO NOT use a self-
piercing type shutoff valve.
•A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for connecng the water supply line to the ice maker inlet valve.
NOTE: Water line kit number 5303917950, available from your appliance dealer at addional cost, contains 25
compression nuts, (2) ferrules/sleeves, and instrucons for installing a water supply line.
To Connect Water Supply Line To Ice Maker Inlet Valve
1. Disconnect refrigerator from electric power supply.
2. Place end of water supply line into sink or bucket. Turn ON water supply and flush supply line unl water
is clear. Turn OFF water supply at shutoffvalve.
3. Unscrew plasc cap from water valve inlet and discard cap.
4. Slide brass compression nut, then ferrule (sleeve), onto water supply line, as shown.
5. Push water supply line into water valve inlet as far as it will go (1/4 inch). Slide ferrule (sleeve) into valve
inlet and finger tighten compression nut onto valve. Tighten another half turn with a wrench; DO NOT over
tighten.
6. With steel clamp and screw, secure water supply line to rear panel of refrigerator as shown.
7. Coil excess water supply line (about 2-1/2 turns) behind refrigerator as shown and arrange coils so they
do not vibrate or wear against any other surface.
8. Turn ON water supply at shutoff valve and tighten any connections that leak and reconnect power.
9. To turn ice maker on, lower wire signal arm. (See ice maker front cover for on/off position of arm.
IMPORTANT: It takes approximately 24 hours for the ice maker to begin producing ice. Air in new plumbing
lines may cause ice maker to cycle 2 or 3 times before making a full tray of ice. New plumbing may cause
ice to be discolored or have poor flavor. Discard ice made during the first 24 hours.
