CONNECTING THE

REFRIGERATOR TO THE HOUSE
WATER LINE
(icemaker and dispenser models)
A cold water supply is required for automatic
icemaker and dispenser operation . If there is
not a cold water supply, you will need to provide
one. See "Installing the Water Line" section.
NOTES:
• Before making the connection to the
refrigerator, be sure the refrigerator power
cord is not plugged into the wall outlet .
• If your refrigerator does not have a water filter,
we recommend installing one if your water
supply has sand or particles that could clog
the screen of the refrigerator's water valve .
Install it in the water line near the refrigerator .
If using SmartConnect
Tubing Kit, you will need an additional tube
(WX08X10002) to connect the filter . Do not cut
plastic tube to install filter .
A
If you are using copper tubing, place a
compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the
end of the tubing coming from the house cold
water supply .
If you are using the SmartConnect
nuts are already assembled to the tubing .
B
If you are using copper tubing, insert the end
of the tubing into the refrigerator connection, at
the back of the refrigerator, as far as possible .
While holding the tubing, tighten the fitting .
If you are using SmartConnect
insert the molded end of the tubing into the
refrigerator connection, at the back of the
refrigerator, and tighten the compression nut
until it is hand tight . Then tighten one additional
turn with a wrench . Overtightening may cause
leaks .
WARNING
Connect to potable water supply only.
A cold water supply is required for automatic
icemaker operation. The water pressure
must be between 40 and 120 psi (275-827
kilopascals).
