Installation Instruction

Installing the Ice Maker
Making preparations
Refer to the illustration below for the following steps.
1. Gently pull the refrigerator away from the wall so that you
can easily access the rear panel.
2. Unplug Refrigerator or disconnect power.
IMPORTANT: If you have a side-by-side model refrigerator-
freezer, be sure when you open the freezer door to work
inside that you do not force the door against the stop at the
bottom of the door. If you bend the stop, the door will not
close properly.
3. On appliances with a top or a bottom freezer, open the
freezer door and remove all of the food items from inside the
freezer compartment.
For side-by-side units, you should only
have to remove food items from the
top half of the freezer section.
This should give you enough room
to access the areas to install
the ice maker.
4. On an appliance with a bottom freezer, remove the slide-out
basket, the ice cube trays, and the wire ice cube holder
(if necessary, refer to your “Use and Care Guide” for the
procedure). Set these items aside.
On top-mount models without a full-width freezer shelf,
remove the ice tray shelf.
Place the shelf aside, as you will use it later to support the
ice bucket.
If you have a side-by-side model refrigerator, proceed to
“Side-by-side models” on page 7. If you have a refrigerator
with a top or a bottom freezer, proceed to “Top/bottom
freezer models” on page 9.
NOTE: The work area for all three model refrigerator-freezers is
shown in DETAIL A below.
