Many homeowners choose to have a licensed plumber handle the water-line portion of an ice maker installation because the job may involve more than simply connecting a small tube behind the refrigerator.
Depending on your property, we may need to:
01
Have the make and model of the refrigerator or ice maker available.
02
Review the manufacturer's water supply and drainage requirements.
03
Make sure there is enough space for the appliance and future service access.
04
Determine whether an existing cold-water connection is already nearby.
05
Consider whether you want an inline water filter.
06
Let us know if the appliance requires a drain connection.
07
Make sure the installation area is accessible.
Shutting off the water supply as necessary
Locating or creating an appropriate cold-water connection
Installing a dedicated shutoff valve
Running approved water-supply tubing to the appliance
Securing and protecting the line through cabinets or other accessible areas
Installing a filter when part of the planned setup
Connecting any required drain line
Restoring the water supply
Checking fittings and connections for leaks
Confirming that water is reaching the appliance properly
Check periodically for moisture behind or beneath the appliance.
Keep the shutoff valve accessible.
Replace water filters according to the manufacturer's schedule.
Watch for reduced ice production that may indicate a clogged filter or water-supply problem.
Pay attention to unusual changes in water pressure or flow.
Contact us if the supply line or fittings begin leaking.
