Install

5. Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink, and 

turn on main water supply to flush out tubing until water is 
clear. Turn off shutoff valve on the water pipe.

NOTE: Always drain the water line before making the final 
connection to the inlet of the water valve, to avoid possible 
water valve malfunction.

6. Bend the copper tubing to meet the water line inlet, which is 

located on the back of the refrigerator cabinet as shown. 
Leave a coil of copper tubing to allow the refrigerator to be 
pulled out of the cabinet or away from the wall for service. 

Connect to Refrigerator 

Follow the connection instructions specific to your model. 

Style 1

1. Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet port. Attach the 

copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression nut and 
sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not 
overtighten. Confirm copper tubing is secure by pulling on 
copper tubing.

2. Create a service loop with the copper tubing. Avoid kinks 

when coiling the copper tubing. Secure copper tubing to 
refrigerator cabinet with a “P” clamp. 

3. Turn on water supply to refrigerator and check for leaks. 

Correct any leaks.

Style 2 

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. 

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.

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 appliance 
dealer.

Complete the Installation

1. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

2. Flush the water system. See “Water and Ice Dispensers.”

NOTE: Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard 
the first three batches of ice produced. Allow 3 days to 
completely fill the ice storage bin.
