Step 4 (for 18 & 19 cu. ft. models)
On the bottom of the icemaker, loosely
fasten the L-bracket (12) to the bottom
rear of the icemaker. The long leg of the
bracket should be pointing down from the
icemaker. Use the supplied L-bracket screw
using the existing hole in the icemaker.
Step 5
• Remove the
icemaker power
cord from the
clip. Hold the
icemaker in the
freezer
compartment as
shown. Insert
the icemaker
power cord plug (B) into the socket on
the rear wall, making sure the prongs
and holes are matched. Press the plug
firmly into the socket.
• Install the plug cover (13) that came
with the kit.
Place the cover over the electric plug with
the icemaker power cord running through
the bottom or side opening in the cover,
depending on the orientation of the plug.
Next, put the lower tabs in the slots on the
freezer wall. Then snap the upper tab into
its slot. IMPORTANT: This cover will
help keep the electric plug from coming
out of the socket when mounting the
icemaker. Be sure to install it now.
