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.

- 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.

- Examine the connections for leaks.
