6 ROUTE AND ATTACH THE
WATER TUBE
• Clip the end of the ground wire to the
refrigerator cabinet.
• Fasten the plastic water tube to the back of the
refrigerator with three of the adhesive-backed
fasteners (4), spacing the fasteners as shown.
IMPORTANT: To ensure a proper ground,
the end of the ground wire MUST be secured

WATER VALVE INSTALLED
• Squeeze the ends of the hose clamp (12) from the
kit with pliers and slide the clamp over the inlet,
located on the right side of the refrigerator.
Refer to the Water Line Installation Instructions for
connection to the home water supply. After water
line installation is completed, set the icemaker
power switch to I (on).
• While still squeezing the clamp, insert the free end
of the water tube (3) into the inlet as far as it will go.
• Then slide the clamp downward to capture the
water tube in place.
• Using one of the adhesive-backed fasteners (4),
secure the water tube to the back of the refrigerator
about 1/2″ below the inlet.
Even when the icemaker power switch is in the
I (on) position, power to the icemaker will be
interrupted when the freezer door/drawer is open.
This prevents ice ejecting from the icemaker from
missing the ice bucket and dropping into the back
of the freezer. Because power to the icemaker is
interrupted while the door/drawer is open, the
green power light on the icemaker will be off. To
make sure the icemaker is working properly, press
the freezer light switch located on the upper right
side of the freezer compartment. The power light
on the icemaker will come on.

Note: After installing the icemaker, do not open
the door/drawer for approximately 4 hours. This
will allow the freezer to reach the correct operating
temperature for making ice, and will prevent water
from spilling out of the icemaker mold.

INSTALL WATER LINE CLAMP
• Attach the water line clamp (strain relief) (6)
from the kit to the refrigerator. With the clamp
directly in line with the water valve, drive the
screw (5) from the kit through the clamp (6)
at the indent into the back of the cabinet.
Proceed with the appropriate step in the Installing
the Water Line section in the Owner’s Manual and
Installation Instructions to complete the installation.

• The metal clamp is for the house water line (see
Water Line Installation Instructions). It is not to
be used for the water tube from the water valve
up to the inlet.
