Connect the Water Supply

Read all directions before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

- Connect to potable water supply only.

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.

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

Tools Needed:

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.

• Flat-blade screwdriver
• 7/16" and 1/2" open-end wrenches or 2 adjustable wrenches
• 1/4" nut driver

NOTE: Do not use a piercing-type or 3/16" (4.76 mm) saddle valve, which reduces water flow and clogs easier.

Connect to Water Line

IMPORTANT: If you have turned the refrigerator on before the water was connected, turn off the ice maker.

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Turn off main water supply. Turn on nearest faucet long enough to reduce water pressure in the water line.
3. Use a quarter-turn shut-off valve or the equivalent, served by a 1/2" household supply line.

NOTE: To allow sufficient water flow to the refrigerator, a minimum 1/2" (12.7 mm) size household supply line is recommended.

A. Sleeve B. Nut C. Copper tubing (to refrigerator) D. Household supply line (1/2" minimum)

• Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing to the shut-off valve. Use 1/4" (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) soft copper tubing to connect the shut-off 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.

1. 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 shut-off 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.

1. Bend the copper tubing to meet the water line inlet, 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.

Connect to Refrigerator

Follow the connection instructions specific to your model.

1. Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet port. Attach the copper tubing to the valve inlet using a compression nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not overtighten. Confirm copper tubing is secure by pulling on copper tubing.
2. Create a service loop with the copper tubing. Avoid kinks when coiling the copper tubing. Secure copper tubing to refrigerator cabinet with a "P" clamp.

Top Mount & Bottom Mount models

1. Place the items back into the freezer compartment.
2. Turn the switch "on" (see the side diagram), and close the freezer door. The ice maker will begin to make ice within 24 hours.

NOTE: Usually it takes approximately 24 hours for the ice maker to begin producing ice. Once ice is available, you may notice that it has an "off-taste". If this happens, make two or three batches of ice and discard them. After that the "off-taste" should be gone. If you have any problem, refer to "Trouble shooting" on page 13.

Troubleshooting

Operational notes

1. The Ice Maker valve contains a flow washer that acts like a pressure regulator to control the water flow. For the Ice Maker to work properly, the water pressure in your home must be between 20 and 120 pounds per-square-inch (psi). If you encounter problems with your Ice Maker's ability to produce ice, call your water utility company and have the water pressure checked.

2. The Ice Maker's water valve is equipped with two strainers: a plastic basket type and a wire-mesh screen. Both of these can be cleaned by turning off the water and disassembling the water valve (your service center should be able to provide this service). If local water conditions require periodic cleaning, or if you use a well as a water source, you should consider installing a second water strainer in the water line. You can obtain a water strainer from your local appliance dealer.
