A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and 
120 psi (207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the water 
dispenser and ice maker. If you have questions about your water 
pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

■

If your refrigerator has a water dispenser: After installation is 
complete, use the water dispenser to check the water 
pressure.

■

With the water filter removed, dispense 1 cup (237 mL) of 
water. If 1 cup of water is dispensed in 8 seconds or less, 
the water pressure to the refrigerator meets the minimum 
requirement.

■

If it takes longer than 8 seconds to dispense 1 cup of 
water, the water pressure to the refrigerator is lower than 
recommended. See “Problem Solver” for suggestions.

IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out of a 
reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the 
refrigerator needs to be between 30 and 120 psi (207 and 
827 kPa).
If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your 
cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis 
system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa).
If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 
40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):

■

Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse 
osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.

■

Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill 
after heavy usage.

■

If your refrigerator has a water filter, it may further reduce the 
water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse 
osmosis system. Remove the water filter. See “Water Filtration 
System” in the User Instructions, User Guide, or Use & Care 
Guide.

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, 
qualified plumber.

Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT:

■

Plumbing shall be installed in accordance with the 
International Plumbing Code and any local codes and 
ordinances.

■

The gray water tubing on the back of the refrigerator (which is 
used to connect to the household water line) is a PEX (cross-
linked polyethylene) tube. Copper and PEX tubing 
connections from the household water line to the refrigerator 
are acceptable, and will help avoid off-taste or odor in your ice 
or water. Check for leaks.

If PEX tubing is used instead of copper, we recommend the 
following Whirlpool

®

 Part Numbers: W10505928RP (7 ft 

[2.14 m] jacketed PEX), 8212547RP (5 ft [1.52 m] PEX), or 
W10267701RP (25 ft [7.62 m] PEX).

■

Install tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain 
above freezing.

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation. 

■

Flat-blade screwdriver

■

⁷⁄₁₆" and ¹⁄₂" open-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches

■

¹⁄₄" nut driver

IMPORTANT: If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is 
connected, turn the ice maker OFF.

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long 

enough to clear line of water.

3. Use a quarter-turn shutoff valve or the equivalent, served by a 

¹⁄₂" copper household supply line. 
NOTE: To allow sufficient water flow to the refrigerator, a 
minimum 

¹⁄₂" size copper household supply line is 

recommended.   

 

  

4. Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing to the shutoff 

valve. Use 

¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) OD soft copper tubing to connect the 

shutoff valve and the refrigerator.

■

Ensure that you have the proper length needed for the job. 
Be sure both ends of the copper tubing are cut square.

■

Slip compression sleeve and compression nut onto 
copper tubing as shown. Insert end of tubing into outlet 
end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut 
onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not 
overtighten.

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.

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long 

enough to clear line of water.

3. Locate a 

¹⁄₂

" (1.27 cm) to 1

¹⁄₄

" (3.18 cm) vertical cold water 

pipe near the refrigerator.
