Mounting the water valve

Page 12 highlights

Mounting the water valve Refer to the diagram below for the following steps. 1. Locate the 2-pin water valve solenoid connector (with the brown and two white wires) that is taped to the main wiring harness at the lower right corner of the rear access (see DETAIL A). 2. Refer to DETAIL B 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 B 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. NOTE: For side by side models with a metal access cover, the valve is mounted to the valve bracket previously installed instead of directly to the cabinet.
