INSTALLING THE WATER VALVE ASSEMBLY
Installation Instructions
CAUTION: Unplug the
Refrigerator. To eliminate the
danger of electric shock during
installation, you must unplug the
refrigerator from its electrical outlet.
Read each step thoroughly before proceeding.
Step 1
At the bottom rear
of the refrigerator,
remove the
screw(s) holding
the compressor
compartment
cover and save
them for
reinstallation
later. Bend the cover back for access to
the compartment.
Step 2
• Locate the
female connector
plug (B).
• Plug the female
B
connector (B)
onto the male
terminals on the
water valve (3).
Either wire can
go on either
terminal.
• Fasten the water
valve to the
cabinet by
driving the hex-
head screw (11)
from the kit into
the hole in the
cabinet leg.
• Check the plastic water line nut on the
bottom of the water valve to be sure it is
hand tight. DO NOT USE TOOLS.
Step 3
• Attach the water
line clamp
(strain relief)
(7) from the kit
to the
refrigerator for
safekeeping
until you
connect the
house water line to the icemaker water
valve (see the Water Line Installation
Instructions). With the clamp directly in
line with the water valve, drive the
screw (6) from the kit through the clamp
(7) at indent into the back of the cabinet.
• Before the icemaker is operated, the
clamp must attach the copper water line
to the refrigerator to help avoid undue
wear on the tubing that might cause leaks.
Step 4

Fill tube
inlet

• Remove the small plastic cap (C) from
the bottom of the fill tube inlet located
in the upper-right rear corner of the
refrigerator. Squeeze the ends of the
hose clamp (5a) or (5b) from the kit
with pliers and slide the clamp over the
fill tube inlet. (Use the black clamp with
the black fill tube inlet, use the other
clamp with the other fill tube inlet.)
While still squeezing the clamp, insert
the plastic water line into the inlet as far
as it will go (approximately 1² [25 mm]).
Then slide the clamp downward to
capture the plastic water line in place.
• Make sure the fill tube inlet is
aimed down.

water line to the
back of the
cabinet with
adhesive-backed
fasteners (4),

spacing the
fasteners as
shown to take up
slack in the line.

Step 6
Refer to the Water Line Installation
Instructions for connection to home water
supply. After water line installation is
completed, lower the icemaker feeler arm
to the ON (down) position.
The icemaking cycle will not begin until
the icemaker and freezer compartment
reach operating temperature, then
icemaking will begin automatically.
