If you want the ice maker or dispenser, you will need a water line installed if your kitchen does not have one...

Only if you want to use the water and ice. I would suggest having a plumber run a small line from your kitchen inlet to where your refrigerator will be installed. Make sure a valve is included at both ends to turn on and off.

Danny · Answer

As long as there's an existing water hook up at your plce you shouldn't have a problem. The fridge comes with hook ups. Just need to buy a separate hose for it.

Fridge · Answer

It wouldn't be a problem but if your new refrigerator has a water outlet and ice maker, make sure your water supply is near and you would need to purchase a supply line and they may charge extra for the install though it should be covered in the basic installation package.

Shelia1949 · Answer

If your refrigerator has an icemaker and you expect to have ice cubes then yes it is a problem. You will need a water source to deliver water to the icemaker. This is accomplished by installing a water line from your nearest water supply line...usually from your lines running to your sink although there may be another source closer depending on your refrigerator location.

itsall1 · Answer

You'll need to buy a water line. If there's no water input in the area where your old fridge is you'll need to hire someone to connect a water line there.

Beeryan · Answer

You need to add a line for the new fridge easily connect under sink.

Isaacmars · Answer

It really depends if you have no water connected to your fridge and your new one has one it’s optional so if you dont want water or ice you dont need to do anything and you can just use the new fridge like the old one but if you want to use the ice maker and water line you need someone to install a whole waterline to the fridge and i think you’d need a plumber for that
