Connecting the Water Line
This line connects water for the ice maker and water
dispenser. The water line is located on the back, bottom
right of the refrigerator.
Make sure all water line parts and tools are nearby before
beginning this next step.
1. Determine the total length of copper tubing needed.
• Make sure to allow at least 7 ft. (213 cm) of slack for
the refrigerator to be pulled away from the wall for
servicing behind the unit.
2. Remove the plastic cap that is covering the water inlet.
3. Insert the copper tubing through the compression nut
and compression sleeve.
• Do not use silicone sleeve tubing: it will slice and
leak water.
• Do not use an old sleeve: it might rupture.
4. Insert the copper tubing + compression sleeve inside
the water inlet.
5. Slide the compression nut down to the water inlet.
6. Tighten the compression nut. Do not overtighten.
