Connect Water Supply

Read all directions before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

�

Connect to potable water supply only.

�

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 or 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. For recommended parts if PEX tubing
is used instead of copper:
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.
Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed
here.

�

Flat-blade screwdriver

�

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

�

1/4" nut driver

Connect to Water Line

IMPORTANT:

If you turn on the refrigerator before the water line is

connected, turn off the ice maker.

Style 1 (Recommended)
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 or PEX household supply line.

NOTE:

To allow sufficient water flow to the refrigerator, a

minimum 1/2" size copper or PEX household supply line is
recommended.

A. Bulb
B. Nut

C. Copper or PEX tubing (to refrigerator)
D. Household supply line (½" minimum)

4.

Now you are ready to connect the copper or PEX tubing to the
shutoff valve. Use 1/4" (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) soft
copper or PEX 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. (PEX tubing has compression sleeves
and compression nuts preinstalled.) 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.

A. Compression sleeve
B. Compression nut

C. Copper or PEX tubing

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 or PEX tubing to meet the water line inlet,
which is located on the back of the refrigerator cabinet. Leave
a coil of copper or PEX tubing to allow the refrigerator to be
pulled out of the cabinet or away from the wall for service.
