type of tubing used to connect your
unit to your household water supply.

How The Water Dispenser
Works
The water reservoir is located in the
refrigerator behind the crisper pan. The
water line to the dispenser bar is routed
in a special way to prevent freeze-ups.
The water dispensing lever energizes
the water line solenoid valve to add
water to the water reservoir.
