A water line connects to a refrigerator primarily at the back, using a threaded connection that requires proper sealing to prevent leaks. Here's a breakdown:
Connecting the Water Line
The typical process for connecting the water line involves:
- Preparation: Identify the water line connection point at the back of the refrigerator.
- Sealing: Wrap the threads on the water line connection at the back of the refrigerator with sealing tape. This is crucial for a tight, leak-proof seal.
- Attachment: Use a wrench to securely attach the end of the water line to the refrigerator's connection.
