Maytag fridge icemaker water hookup
Anybody familiar with how this is done?
I just took delivery today of a new Maytag fridge from Sears, which came with a factory-installed icemaker. I didn't realize that the delivery guys hadn't hooked up the water line until they had left. I figured that I could probably do it myself, but I find that the diagram in the manual does not resemble the actual fridge. Here's the man page: http://home.comcast.net/~esionder/temp/fridge1.png Here are two pictures of the actual hookup area: http://home.comcast.net/~esionder/temp/fridge2.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~esionder/temp/fridge3.jpg I don't think the diagram agrees with the physical unit. The book makes it look like there should be two parallel tubes, a black one that emerges from behind the metal panel at the rear bottom access panel of the fridge, and another that dangles from above. As you can see, there is only one actual tube, and no obvious place to hook up my water line. Am I missing something? Could this have been assembled incorrectly at the factory and is actually missing the "refrigerator connection" that's referred to in the manual? |
