How to Connect a Samsung Icemaker

Connecting a Samsung icemaker only requires basic tools.

Ice makers, unlike the other parts of refrigerators, have tendencies to break easily or wear out quickly. So, replacing these appliances is important in the maintenance of your home. Removal of ice makers is actually quite simple and requires only a few basic tools.

Things You'll Need

• Replacement Samsung icemaker
• Basic tool kit

Instructions

1. Turn off the water flow going to the ice maker. The valve for this can be found on the back of the refrigerator.

2. Remove the old ice maker by unscrewing the two mounting bolts at its base and pulling it out.

3. Gently unplug the ice maker's power cord and water hose. Some water will drain from the hose. Having a towel on the floor is a good idea.

4. Plug the power cord and water hose into your new Samsung ice maker and slide it into its slot.

5. Replace the mounting bolts and the base and screw them in tightly.

Tips & Warnings

• Having another person to help hold the ice maker while you connect it can be a great help.

• Be aware of possible live electrical endings while connecting the Samsung ice maker.
