Drain Connection
Gravity Drain System
Connect the ice maker drain to your drain in accordance with all 
state and local codes and ordinances. If the ice maker is provided 
with a gravity drain system, follow these guidelines when installing 
drain lines. This will help keep water from flowing back into the ice 
maker storage bin and potentially flowing onto the floor, causing 
water damage.
Drain lines must have a minimum of 
⁵⁄₈" (15.88 mm) inside 
diameter.
Drain lines must have a 1" drop per 48" (2.54 cm drop per 
122 cm) of run or 
¹⁄₄" drop per 12" (6.35 mm per 30.48 cm) of 
run and must not have low points where water can settle.
The floor drains must be large enough to accommodate 
drainage from all drains.
The ideal installation has a standpipe with a 1
¹⁄₂" (3.81 cm) to 
2" (5.08 cm) PVC drain reducer installed directly below the 
outlet of the drain tube as shown. You must maintain a 
1" (2.54 cm) air gap between the drain hose and the 
standpipe.
IMPORTANT: A drain pump is necessary when a floor drain is not 
available. A Drain Pump kit, Part Number 1901, is available for 
purchase.

Drain Pump System (on some models)
IMPORTANT:
Connect the ice maker drain to your drain in accordance with 
the International Plumbing Code and any local codes and 
ordinances.
The drain pump discharge line must terminate at an open 
sited drain. 
Maximum rise 10 ft (3.1 m)
Maximum run 100 ft (30.5 m)
NOTES: 
If the drain hose becomes twisted and water cannot drain, 
your ice maker will not work.
It may be desirable to insulate the drain line thoroughly up to 
the drain inlet. An Insulation Sleeve kit, Part Number 
W10365792, is available for purchase.  
Connecting the Drain
After ensuring that the drain system is adequate, follow these 
steps to properly place the ice maker:
1. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
2. Style 1 - For gravity drain system, push the ice maker into 
position so that the ice maker drain tube is positioned over the 
PVC drain reducer. See “Gravity Drain System.”
Style 2 - For drain pump system connect the drain pump 
outlet hose to the drain. See “Drain Pump System.”
3. Recheck the ice maker to be sure that it is level. See  
“Leveling.”
4. If it is required by your local sanitation code, seal the cabinet 
to the floor with an approved caulking compound after all 
water and electrical connections have been made.
