Whirlpool GI15PDXZS 安装指南

8. Align the 2 screw holes at the rear of the pump. Use two 

#8­32 x 

³⁄₈" screws, supplied. See “Parts Locations” 

illustration.

9. Connect drain tube to ice maker bin outlet (

⁵⁄₈" I.D.), using ⁷⁄₈" 

adjustable clamp, supplied. See “Drain Tube” illustration.

10. Coil ice maker power cord into a 4" (10.2 cm) diameter coil. 

Wrap electrical tape around the power cord in several places 
to keep the cord in a coil. Locate coiled power cord between 
the drain pump and side of enclosure and plug into the 
receptacle of the drain pump. See “Parts Locations” 
illustration.

11. Attach the drain pump power cord to ice maker unit base with 

clamp and screw (removed in Step 6) that was used to attach 
ice maker power cord. See “Parts Locations” illustration.

12. Place new rear panel (small one for 15" ice makers, large one 

for 18") against the back of the ice maker. Route the vent 
tube and drain pump discharge tube through cutouts in the 
rear panel.

13. Secure rear panel with original screws. See “Rear Panel” 

illustration.

14. Secure vent tube to back of ice maker using three clamps 

and three #8-32 x 

³⁄₈" screws, supplied. See “Vent Tube” 

illustration.

NOTE: Do not pinch, kink or damage the vent tube. Check that it 
is not damaged or pinched or kinked between the cabinet and 
the ice maker.

15. Attach 

¹⁄₂" I.D. x 10 ft (3 m) drain tube to pump discharge 

tube. See “Parts Locations” illustration. 

NOTE: Do not connect outlet end of drain tube to a closed 
pipe system to keep drain water from backing up into the ice 
maker.

16. Connect ice maker to water supply and install ice maker as 

specified by the product installation instructions.

17. Check all connections for leaks.

18. Plug in ice maker or reconnect power.

19. Turn on ice maker.

20. Wait for rinsing cycle, approximately 5 minutes, to be sure the 

ice maker is operating properly.

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) I.D. 

(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.

■

Do not connect the outlet end of the drain tube to a closed 
pipe system to keep drain water from backing up into the ice 
maker.

IMPORTANT: A drain pump is necessary when a floor drain is not 
available. A Drain Pump kit, Part Number 1901A, is available for 
purchase.
