Remove the cover
for the water tube
inlet hole on the
back of the
refrigerator near
the bottom. Use
a flat-blade
screwdriver
covered with
masking tape to
protect against
scratching the
refrigerator.
After removing
the cover, use the
screwdriver to
pierce the interior
sealing tape that
covers the hole for
the water
fill tube inlet.
Clear a path for
the water
fill tube.
From the inside
of the freezer, pull the
water fill tube through
the hole in the back
wall. Be sure to
remove the masking
tape from the end of
the water fill tube to
allow water to flow
into the icemaker.
From the outside, push
gently on the water fill
tube while twisting it
slightly, until the flange
is firmly sealed inside
the hole on the back of
the refrigerator. Make
sure the water fill tube
is completely sealed.
To prevent the styrofoam insulation beads from
entering the water fill tube during installation,
temporarily cover the end of the tube with masking
tape. Push the water fill tube through the hole.
