Mounting the water valve

Page 13 highlights

Mounting the water valve Refer to the diagram below for the following steps. NOTE: For 11 Cubic Foot Top Freezer Models only, use a wire tie to get together capillary tube and dryer. This should be done by installer before installing water valve, to make more room for water valve installation. Installer should move all thin tubing to be in parallel with cabinet (refrigerator side wall). By doing this, we assure that no copper tubing is above valve connector (see DETAIL A). 1. Locate the 2-pin water valve solenoid connector (with the brown and two white wires) that is tape to the main wiring harness at the lower right corner of the rear access (see DETAIL B). 2. Refer to DETAIL C and insert the 2-pin connector over the water valve solenoid terminals as far as possible (if the harness is not long enough, break the tape holding it to the main harness). You can position the connector with the wires at either terminal. 3. Refer to DETAIL C and mount the water valve to the mounting holes in the cabinet frame with two 1⁄2" hex-head machine screws. Make sure that you tighten these two screws securely.

Mounting the water valve
Refer to the diagram below for the following steps.
NOTE:
For 11 Cubic Foot Top Freezer Models only, use a wire
tie to get together capillary tube and dryer. This should be done
by installer before installing water valve, to make more room for
water valve installation. Installer should move all thin tubing to
be in parallel with cabinet (refrigerator side wall). By doing this,
we assure that no copper tubing is above valve connector (see
DETAIL A).
1.
Locate the 2-pin water valve solenoid connector (with the
brown and two white wires) that is tape to the main wiring
harness at the lower right corner of the rear access (see
DETAIL B).
2.
Refer to DETAIL C and insert the 2-pin connector over the
water valve solenoid terminals as far as possible (if the
harness is not long enough, break the tape holding it to the
main harness). You can position the connector with the wires
at either terminal.
3.
Refer to DETAIL C and mount the water valve to the
mounting holes in the cabinet frame with two 1⁄2" hex-head
machine screws. Make sure that you tighten these two
screws securely.
