Please note:
• Water line must be connected to potable water only
• If the Refrigerator is installed in area with low water pressure (below 20psi), a booster pump should be installed to compensate for the low pressure
• A universal water supply kit is available at extra cost from the dealer. The Refrigerator manufacturer recommends using a water supply kit containing copper
tubing
• A newly-installed water filter cartridge may cause water to briefly spurt from the dispenser
• Before reinstalling the water filter, remove the wine rack (RS2577)
To install the water line, follow these steps:
1 Shut off the main water supply and turn the icemaker off
2 Locate the nearest cold drinking water line
3 Connect to the 3/16" white plastic tube on the back of the refrigerator
4 Slip the compression nut onto the white plastic tube
5 Screw the union into the white plastic tube and tighten the compression nut. Do not overtighten the compression nut
6 Slip the compression sleve and compression nut onto the copper tubing as shown.. Tighten the compression nut onto the union
7 Turn water on and check for any leakage
8 Install the water filter
9 Turn on the main water supply & shut-off valve of the water supply line
10 Run water through the dispenser until the water runs clear (6~7 minutes). This will clean the water supply system and clear air from the lines
11 Additional flushing may be required in some households
12 Open the Refrigerator door and check if water leaks around the water filter

Many side-by-side refrigerators have a water and ice dispenser built into the freezer door. If water pours from the bottom of the refrigerator when you press the water button, a broken plastic water line is the likely cause of the problem. You can change the water line to get the dispenser working again. Replacing the freezer door water line in a side-by-side refrigerator requires some disassembly. Consult an appliance technician if you're not comfortable performing this repair yourself.
Replace the water line in your freezer door.
Step 1
Unplug the refrigerator from the electrical outlet before servicing it to avoid serious injury. Turn off the tap that supplies the water to the appliance.
Step 2
Open the refrigerator and freezer doors. Remove the grille plate from the base of the refrigerator to access the water line connector. Some refrigerator models require you to remove screws to free the plate, while others have a plate that simply snaps on and off.
Step 3
Detach the connector on the clear plastic water line; push, twist or pull the connector apart. Remove the connector piece from the line on the freezer door side. Allow water from the disconnected lines to spill into a container.
Step 4
Remove the screws securing the water and ice dispenser panel to the front of the freezer door. Check for slots at the bottom of the panel if your model doesn't have screws. Insert a small flat-head screwdriver into the slots and gently pry off the dispenser panel.
Step 5
Find the plastic water line sticking out of the dispenser assembly. Remove the screw or release the retaining tab holding the line in place. Pull the old water line up through the freezer door.
Step 6
Thread the replacement water line into the hole on the dispenser assembly and guide it through the door. Fit the removed connector piece onto the end of the new line. Snap the connector pieces together to join the freezer door and water supply lines.
