Water Valve And Water Tank - GE ZIS360NR Technical Service Manual

Water Valve and Water Tank

The water valve is mounted in the left side of the
machine compartment.
A plastic water line is routed from under the unit,
up the back of the cabinet, into the machine
compartment, and to the water filter. A line then
goes from the water filter to the water valve.
Two low-pressure plastic water lines supply water
to the icemaker and door dispenser from the water
valve. A plastic water line is routed from the water
valve, out the back of the machine compartment,
down the back of the cabinet through the bottom of
the unit, and into the fresh food compartment
where it is attached to the cold water tank. A line is
routed from the cold water tank through the bottom
of the unit into the freezer door to supply the water
dispenser. The icemaker water line is routed from
the water valve through the machine compartment
to the icemaker. The icemaker fill tube is also
plastic.
Note: No water filter should be installed if home
has in-home water filtration system (reverse
osmosis filter system, etc.) Replace filter with by-
pass plug.
