To avoid property damage:
•  Use copper tubing for the water supply line (plastic

tubing is more likely to leak). Manufacturer is not 

responsible for any damage if plastic tubing is used 

for supply line.

•  Ensure water supply and installation comply with

state and local laws and regulations.

•  For proper dispenser operation, recommended water

supply pressure should fall between 30 psi and 100 psi. 

Excessive pressure may cause water filter to malfunction.



A kit is available from your dealer that provides all 

materials for a water supply installation, including 25 

feet of copper tubing and full instructions.



After connecting the water supply, refer to “How to Prime 

the Water Supply System” for important information about 

priming an empty water supply system. 
Your refrigerator’s water supply system includes several 

tubing lines, a water filter, a water valve and a water

tank.  To ensure that your water dispenser works 

properly, this system must be completely filled with

water when your refrigerator is first connected to the

household water supply line.

The automatic ice & water dispenser on your refrigerator requires a permanent water supply to function correctly. 

During installation, you (or a service professional) establish this water supply by connecting a copper tube from your 

household water system to a valve at the rear of the refrigerator.
You may have already followed the directions in the Installation Instructions to connect the water supply. This 

information is repeated here for future reference if you need to relocate your refrigerator. 

 •  A cold water line with pressure of 30-100 psi.

(System is to be supplied with cold water only.)

 •  Copper tubing with ¼ inch (6.4mm) Outside

Diameter (OD). Length for this tubing is the distance 

from the rear of the refrigerator to your household 

water supply line plus seven feet (2.1 meters). 

 •  A shut-off valve for the connection between your

household water line and the refrigerator supply line. 

    Do not use a self-piercing shut-off valve.
 •  A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for the water

supply connection at the rear of your refrigerator.

  1  Ensure that the refrigerator is not plugged in.
  2  Flush the supply line until water is clear by placing 

the end of the copper tube in a sink or bucket and 

opening the shut-off valve.

  3  Remove the plastic cap from the water valve inlet 

at the rear of your refrigerator. Discard the cap.

  4  Slide the brass compression nut, then the ferrule 

(sleeve) onto copper tube.

  5  Push the copper tube into the water valve inlet as 

far as it will go (¼ inch).

  6  Slide the ferrule (sleeve) into the valve and finger-

tighten the compression nut onto valve. Tighten 

another half turn with a wrench. Do not over-

tighten.

  7  Secure the copper tube to your refrigerator’s rear 

panel with a steel clamp and screw (see illustration).

  8  Coil the excess copper tubing (about 2½ turns) 

behind your refrigerator as shown. Arrange coiled 

tubing to avoid vibration or wear against other 

surfaces.

  9  Open water supply shut-off valve and tighten any 

connections that leak.
