Connect the Ice Maker (optional)
The ice maker is assembled to the refrigerators at the factory as optional equipment. If the refrigerator does not have a factory
installed ice maker, one can not be added to the refrigerator at a later time.
The refrigerator installer must connect a cold water supply line to the solenoid valve at the rear of the refrigerator. The following are
necessary to connect the icemaker:
- 1/4 in. OD copper tubing for the water supply line.
OR
- 1/4 in. OD plastic tubing for the water supply line.
- 1/4 in. shut off valve in the water supply line. This should be easily accessible through the lower intake vent.
Connect the water supply line:
Install a 1/4 in. OD water supply line [43] from the
water shut off valve of the vehicle to the solenoid
water valve [44] at the rear of the refrigerator (See
Art01014):
NOTE: A brass compression nut [45], a brass
sleeve, a plastic sleeve [46] , and a brass
insert [47] are supplied and attached to
the rear of the refrigerator (See Art01604).
- Put the compression nut and then the sleeve
onto the water supply line [43].
- For copper tubing, use the brass sleeve.
- For plastic tubing, use the plastic sleeve
[46].
- For plastic tubing with .040 in. wall
thickness, also use the brass insert [47].
- Flush the water supply line until the
water is clear.
- Put the tubing into the adapter [48] until it is against the stop of the adapter.
- Tighten the compression nut by hand (hard finger tight).
- Using two wrenches, tighten the compression nut 1 ½ to 2 turns.
- Open the water shut off valve of the vehicle.
