Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
WARNING
■ To ensure proper ventilation for your ice maker, the front side
must be completely unobstructed. The ice maker may be
closed in on the top and 3 sides, but the installation should
allow the ice maker to be pulled forward for servicing if
necessary.
■ Installation of the ice maker requires a cold water supply inlet
of ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) outside diameter (O.D.) soft copper tubing
with a shut-off valve or a Whirlpool supply line Part Number
8212547RB, and a Whirlpool approved drain pump Part
Number 1901A and only to carry the water to an existing
drain.
■ Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above
55°F (13°C) and below 110°F (43°C). Best results are
obtained between 70°F and 90°F (21ºC and 32°C).
■ The ice maker must be installed in an area sheltered from
the elements, such as wind, rain, water spray, or drip.
■ When installing the ice maker under a counter, follow the
recommended opening dimensions shown. Place electrical
and plumbing fixtures in the recommended location as
shown.
NOTES:
■ Check that the power supply cord is not damaged,
pinched, or kinked between the ice maker and the
cabinet.
■ Check that the water supply line is not damaged,
pinched, or kinked between the ice maker and the
cabinet.
■ Check that the drain line (on some models) is not
damaged, pinched, or kinked between the ice maker
and the cabinet.
■ Check that the ice maker door is not flush with the
standard cabinets to avoid problems with opening the
ice maker door.

Before you move your ice maker into its final location, it is
important to make sure you have the proper electrical
connection:
A 115-volt, 60 Hz., AC-only, 15- or 20-amp electrical supply,
properly grounded in accordance with the National Electrical
Code and local codes and ordinances, is required.
It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your ice
maker, be provided. Use a receptacle which cannot be turned off
by a switch or pull chain.
IMPORTANT: If this product is connected to a GFCI (Ground
A
B
B
C
A
Fault Circuit Interrupter) equipped outlet, nuisance tripping of the
power supply may occur, resulting in loss of cooling. Ice quality
may be affected. If nuisance tripping has occurred, and if the
condition of the ice appears poor, dispose of it.
Recommended Grounding Method
The ice maker must be grounded. The ice maker is equipped with
a power supply cord having a 3 prong grounding plug. The cord
must be plugged into a mating, 3 prong, grounding-type wall
receptacle, grounded in accordance with the National Electrical
Code and local codes and ordinances. If a mating wall receptacle
is not available, it is the personal responsibility of the customer to
have a properly grounded, 3 prong wall receptacle installed by a
qualified electrician.
Water Supply Requirements
Check that the water supply lines are insulated against freezing
conditions. Ice formations in the supply lines can increase water
pressure and damage your ice maker or home. Damage from
frozen supply lines is not covered by the warranty.
A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and
120 psi (207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the ice maker.
If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed,
qualified plumber.
If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your
cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis
system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa).
NOTE: The reverse osmosis system must provide 1 gal. (3.8 L)
of water per hour to the ice maker for proper ice maker operation.
If a reverse osmosis system is desired, only a whole-house
capacity reverse osmosis system, capable of maintaining the
steady water supply required by the ice maker, is recommended.
Faucet capacity reverse osmosis systems are not able to
maintain the steady water supply required by the ice maker.
If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than
40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):
■ Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse
osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.
■ Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill
after heavy usage.
If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed,
qualified plumber.
Tools Needed
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation:
■ Flat-blade screwdriver
■ ⁷⁄₁₆" and ¹⁄₂" open-end wrenches or 2 adjustable wrenches
■ ¹⁄₄" nut driver
NOTE: Do not use a piercing-type or ³⁄₁₆" (4.76 mm) saddle valve
which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.
Connecting the Water Line
1. Turn off main water supply. Turn on nearest faucet long
enough to clear line of water.
2. Using a ¹⁄₂" copper supply line with a quarter-turn shut-off
valve or the equivalent, connect the ice maker as shown.
NOTE: To allow sufficient water flow to the ice maker a
minimum ¹⁄₂" diameter home supply line is recommended.
A. Bulb
B. Nut
3. Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing. Use
¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) O.D. soft copper tubing for the cold water
supply.
■ Ensure that you have the proper length needed for the
job. Be sure both ends of the copper tubing are cut
square.
■ Slip compression sleeve and compression nut on copper
tubing as shown. Insert end of tubing into outlet end
squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut onto
outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.
Vacation or Extended Time Without Use
■ When you will not be using the ice maker for an extended
period of time, turn off the water and power supply to the
ice maker.
■ Check that the water supply lines are insulated against
freezing conditions. Ice formations in the supply lines can
increase water pressure and cause damage to your ice maker
or home. Damage from freezing is not covered by the
warranty.
Connect Water Supply
Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT:
■ Plumbing shall be installed in accordance with the
International Plumbing Code and any local codes and
ordinances.
■ Use copper tubing or Whirlpool supply line Part Number
8212547RP, and check for leaks.
■ Install tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain
above freezing.
A. Compression sleeve
B. Compression nut
C. Copper tubing
4. Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink, and
turn on main water supply and flush out tubing until water is
clear. Turn off shut-off valve on the water pipe.
IMPORTANT: Always drain the water line before making
the final connection to the inlet of the water valve to avoid
possible water valve malfunction.
5. Bend the copper tubing to meet the water line inlet which
is located on the back of the ice maker cabinet as shown.
Leave a coil of copper tubing to allow the ice maker to be
pulled out of the cabinet or away from the wall for service.

Drain Pump Installation
(on some models)
NOTES:
■ Connect drain pump to your drain in accordance with all state
and local codes and ordinances.
■ It may be desirable to insulate drain tube thoroughly up
to drain inlet to minimize condensation on the drain tube.
Insulated tube kit Part Number W10365792 is available for
purchase.
■ Drain pump is designed to pump water to a maximum height
of 10 ft (3 m). Use only Whirlpool approved drain pump kit
Part Number 1901A.
■ Do not connect the outlet end of the drain tube to a closed
pipe system to keep drain water from backing up into the
ice maker.
Kit Contains:
■ Drain pump kit Part Number 1901A
■ ⁵⁄₈" I.D. (inside diameter) x 5¹⁄₈" drain tube (ice maker bin to
drain pump reservoir inlet)
■ ¹⁄₂" I.D. x 10 ft (3 m) drain tube hose (drain pump discharge
to household drain)
