6. Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe
clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the 1/4" (6.35 mm)
drilled hole in the water pipe and that the washer is under the
pipe clamp. Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp
screws slowly and evenly so the washer makes a watertight
seal. Do not overtighten, or you may crush the copper or PEX
tubing.
7. Slip compression sleeve and compression nut onto copper
tubing as shown. (PEX tubing has compression sleeves and
compression nuts preinstalled.) Insert end of tubing into outlet
end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut onto
outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.
8. Place the free end of the tubing in a container or sink, and turn
on the main water supply. Flush the tubing until water is clear.
Turn off the shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil the tubing.
Connect to Refrigerator
Style 1
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Remove and discard the short, black plastic part from the end
of the water line inlet.
3. Thread the nut onto the end of the tubing. Tighten the nut by
hand. Then tighten it with a wrench two more turns. Do not
overtighten.
NOTE: To avoid rattling, be sure the copper tubing does not
touch the cabinet's side wall or other parts inside the cabinet.
A. Household water line
B. Nut (purchased)
4. Install the water supply tube clamp around the water supply
line to reduce strain on the coupling.
5. Turn shutoff valve on.
6. Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including
connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.
Style 2
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Remove and discard the plastic part that is attached to the
inlet of the water valve.
3. Attach the copper or PEX tube to the valve inlet using a
compression nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the
compression nut. Do not overtighten.
A. Tube clamp
B. Tube clamp screw
C. Copper tubing
C. Ferrule (purchased)
D. Refrigerator water tubing
D. Compression nut
E. Valve inlet
4. Use the tube clamp on the back of the refrigerator to secure
the tubing to the refrigerator as shown. This will help avoid
damage to the tubing when the refrigerator is pushed back
against the wall.
5. Turn shutoff valve on.
6. Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including
connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.
7. On some models, the ice maker is equipped with a built-in
water strainer. If your water conditions require a second water
strainer, install it in the 1/4" (6.35 mm) water line at either tube
connection. Obtain a water strainer from your nearest
appliance dealer.
Style 3
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Remove and discard the black nylon plug from the gray water
tube on the rear of the refrigerator.
3. If the gray water tube supplied with the refrigerator is not long
enough, a 1/4" x 1/4" (6.35 mm x 6.35 mm) coupling is needed
in order to connect the water tubing to an existing household
water line. Thread the provided nut onto the coupling on the
end of the copper or PEX tubing.
NOTE: Tighten the nut by hand. Then tighten it with a wrench
two more turns. Do not overtighten.
