4. Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink, and
turn on main water supply and flush out tubing until water is
clear. Turn off shutoff valve on the water pipe.
IMPORTANT: Always drain the water line before making
the final connection to the inlet of the water valve to avoid
possible water valve malfunction.
5. Bend the copper tubing to meet the water line inlet which is
located on the back of the ice maker cabinet as shown. Leave
a coil of copper tubing to allow the ice maker to be pulled out
of the cabinet or away from the wall for service.

Drain Pump Installation
(on some models)
NOTE: Connect drain pump to your drain in accordance with
all state and local codes and ordinances. It may be desirable
to insulate drain tube thoroughly up to drain inlet to minimize
condensation on the drain tube. Insulated tube kit Part Number
W10365792 is available for purchase. Drain pump is designed
to pump water to a maximum height of 10 ft (3 m). Use only
Whirlpool approved drain pump kit Part Number 1901A. Do not
connect the outlet end of the drain tube to a closed pipe system
to keep drain water from backing up into the ice maker.
