To avoid property damage:
•  Copper tubing is recommended for the water supply

line.  Water supply tubing made of 1/4” plastic is not 

recommended since it greatly increases the potential 

for water leaks.  Manufacturer will not be responsible 

for any damage if plastic tubing is used for supply 

line.

•  DO NOT install water supply tubing in areas where

temperatures fall below freezing.

•  Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can

damage the ice maker.  If the ice maker is connected 

to soft water, ensure that the softener is maintained 

and working properly.



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.

To avoid electric shock, which can cause death or 

severe personal injury, disconnect the refrigerator from 

electrical power before connecting a water supply line 

to the refrigerator.



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.

Ensure that your water supply line connections comply 

with all local plumbing codes.

 •  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 (7) 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  Disconnect refrigerator from electric power source.
  2  Place end of water supply line into sink or bucket.  

Turn ON water suply and flush supply line until water

is clear.  Turn OFF water supply at shutoff valve.

  3  Remove the plastic cap from the water valve inlet 

and discard the cap.

  4  Slide the brass compression nut, then the ferrule 

(sleeve) onto water supply line.

  5  Push the water supply line 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 water supply line (about 2½ turns) 

behind your refrigerator as shown. Arrange coiled tubing 

to avoid vibration or wear against other surfaces.

  9  Turn ON water supply shut-off valve and tighten 

any connections that leak.

  10  To turn ice maker on, lower wire signal arm (see 

ice maker front cover for ON/OFF position of arm).
