Water Supply to Icemaker
If your refrigerator has an icemaker, or if you plan to add an icemaker later, the icemaker will have
to be connected to a cold water line. A water supply kit containing copper tubing, shut-off valve,
fittings and instructions is available at extra cost from your dealer. There should be sufficient tubing
for the icemaker from the cold water
supply to allow you to move the refrigerator out from the wall
several feet (approximately 8 feet [244 cm] of 1/4” [6 mm] copper tubing in three 10-inch [25 cm]
diameter coils).
