Step 1: Run The Water Line
In order to run the water line, you must make a hole behind your refrigerator with a drill. Next, drill another hole underneath the sink. Dip down into the opening and feed the line down the crawl space and then back up through the hole you made in your refrigerator.
Step 2: Drain The Water Line
After you have the water line running into the refrigerator, you can tap into the cold water line located under the sink but first shut-off the water valve to the entire house at the main source.
IMPORTANT NOTE: With any type of plumbing project, the electric heater at the breaker should be turned off if the main water supply has been shut off as well. If your heating system is gas-powered, push the switch to the position reading pilot.
Next, turn on a faucet to drain the remaining water from the lines.
Step 3: Install The Valve
Install the new valve made for the icemakers water line.
It should be noted that there are quite a few different types of valves that could be used for this job.
A needle valve is recommended. In order to install a needle valve, put two clamps around the pipe, then tighten the screws on opposing sides with a screwdriver to hold it in place.
Tighten the T handle so that it is tight against the copper line.
Step 4: Install The Solenoid Valve
One of the first parts youll notice in an ice maker kit is the solenoid valve. Attach the solenoid valve to the cabinet frame holes within the fridge by using two screws and a drill.
Step 5: Connect The Water Supply Line
Connect the water supply line with the compression fitting that is provided to the top of the solenoid valve. This can be done by screwing it in.
Next, screw the plastic tube that comes with the kit onto the water outlet which is located on the bottom part of the solenoid valve.
