PREPARING THE APPLIANCE FOR SERVICE
- Unplug appliance or disconnect power.
- Turn the water off at the household supply.
- If servicing a refrigerator, purge the product by dispensing water for at least 30 seconds.
- Locate the line connecting the household supply to the W11502228A product. Disconnect the supply line from the household side, using the container to catch the draining water. Do not disconnect from the product.
INSTALLING THE PRESSURE REGULATOR
-
Use the provided 24″ (61cm) long PEX water line.
-
Using the tube cutter or utility knife, cut the household supply line at the measurement. Ensure that tubing is cut square with no burrs, sharp edges, or deformation to prevent leaking.
-
For bottom mount and side-by-side platforms, locate and remove one of the center screws holding the machine compartment cover in place. (If not available, locate a similar location on the product.) See Figure 2.

Connect the pressure regulator in between the loose endsof the water line by pressing the line ends firmly into the pressure regulator’s connectors. See Figure 4.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the water flow direction indicator arrow on the pressure regulator is pointing in the direction of the water flow (towards the appliance). Verify that the connection is properly made by gently attempting to pull the line straight out. If the line remains connected, the connection was properly made.
-
Attach the pressure regulator to the mounting clip in theorientation shown (Vertical: Outlet on bottom / Inlet on top) See Figure 5.
