Step By Step Instructions

1
To replace the water inlet valve in this kitchenaid refrigerator, you will need a quarter-inch nut driver, a quarter-inch wrench, an adjustable wrench, and a 7/16th inch wrench.
2
Before you begin the procedure, unplug the appliance’s power cord.
3
Shut off the home’s water supply line valve.
4
To move the refrigerator away from the wall, first open the freezer drawer and pull the toe kick plate forward to remove.
5
Now use the quarter-inch wrench to rotate the brake feet counter-clockwise to raise them.
6
You can now roll the appliance forward.
7
Use the adjustable wrench to unthread the compression nut to detach the home’s water supply line from the inlet valve – be prepared for some water to spill.
8
Next, use the quarter-inch nut driver to unthread the nine screws securing the lower rear access panel.
9
With the screws unthreaded, detach the power cord strain relief from the panel and set the panel aside.
10
Using the quarter-inch nut driver, unthread the two screws to release the water inlet valve mounting bracket from the frame.
11
Disconnect the wire connecter from the valve.
12
Use the 7/16th inch wrench to depress the retaining ring to release the water filter supply line.
13
To install the new water inlet valve, first fully insert the water filter supply line into the valve port, then connect the wire connecter.
14
Align the mounting bracket on the frame and thread the two screws to secure.
15
Reinstall the lower rear access panel by first sliding the right side behind the water filter supply line so the line is seated in the notch in the panel.
16
Seat the power cord strain relief in the panel notch, then fully reposition the panel, and thread the nine screws to secure.
17
Remember to secure the water filter supply line’s retainer with the top right screw.
18
Reattach the water supply line to the inlet valve by threading the compression nut – avoid overtightening the nut.
19
Push the refrigerator back against the wall, and lower the brake feet until they are in contact with the floor.
20
Replace the toe kick plate by aligning it on the lower frame and snapping it into place.
21
Turn the water supply back on, plug the power cord back in, and the refrigerator should be ready for use.
