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 Metal or
plastic clip
• Locate the
female connector
plug (C) which
is attached to the
cabinet by a
metal or plastic
clip. Remove the
clip by removing
the screw. Save
the screw for mounting the water valve
later. Discard the clip.
• Plug the female
C
connector (C)
onto the male
terminals on the
water valve (3).
Either wire can
go on either
terminal.
• Fasten the water
valve to the
cabinet edge hole
using the hex-
head screw that
you removed at
the beginning
of Step 2.
DO NOT DRILL ANY
ADDITIONAL HOLES.
• Check the plastic water line nut on the
bottom of 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). Drive one of the screws,
removed in Step 1, into the cabinet
edge through the clamp and hole in
compressor cover.
• Before the icemaker is operated, the
water line clamp (strain relief) (7) must
attach the copper 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 (D) 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 (5b) from the kit with
pliers and slide the clamp over the 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.

Fasten the plastic
water line to the
back of the
cabinet with
adhesive-backed

fasteners (4),
spacing the
fasteners as
shown to take
up the 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.
