Instructions
PROCEDURE
1. This Kit should only be installed by a qualified RV
technician.
2. The refrigerator needs to be removed from the enclo-
sure. Turn “OFF” all AC and DC power. Cap all wires
when removed.
3. Turn “OFF” the (LP) Propane gas supply and plug the
gas line when disconnected. Turn “OFF” water supply
and plug line when disconnected.
4. Use the appliance’s Installation and Operating Manual
and remove refrigerator in reverse order of installation.
5. Locate the existing water fill tube and remove it from the
refrigerator.
6. Enlarge the hole with a 3/4 inch drill bit if required.
7. Fit the new tube into the enlarged hole. Tubes that enter
from the top must be flush with the insulation, otherwise
they could be pulled out when the cabinet is reinstalled.
Rear entry tubes need only to have the collar against the
insulation on the rear of the refrigerator. Check the tube
extension into the cup. A minimum gap of 1/4 inch is
present between the tube and the side/bottom of cup.
See FIG. 1 & 2.
8. Place the hose clamp over the end of the 1/4 inch
water line. Insert water line into the new water fill tube.
Secure with hog ring. See FIG. 2.
9. Place the new water fill tube into the refrigerator. Be
sure no pieces of insulation are blocking the tube. Seal
around the tube with permagum. Cover with foil tape.
NOTE: Models that have the water fill tube entering
the freezer compartment from the rear should po-
sition the 1/4 inch tube inlet at “12 O’clock”. Be
sure the 1/4 inch line is not kinked. See FIG. 3.
10. Reinstall the refrigerator in the enclosure. Refer to the
refrigerator’s Installation and Operating Manual.
11. Reconnect the (LP) Propane supply line to the refrig-
erator. Be sure to use a backup wrench when tighten-
ing the fitting. Leak check the fitting with a commercial
leak-check solution.
12. Reconnect the water supply to its connector on the
refrigerator. Check for water leaks.
13. Reconnect the AC and DC power supply to the refrig-
erator.
