I moved in this house 2 yrs ago and recently bought a new fridge to replace the old crappy 1970's looking one that was here. It is a GE side by side with ice and water dispenser on door. I thought I would need a plumber to run the water line but when I pulled it out to clean back there I notced I do have a water spicket back there. Do I still need a plumber? I am paying the $10 for the guys who move it in the hosue to hook it up but dont know if I need more then what is already there. What I saw was a square hole neatly cut into the wall behind fridge and a water spicket valve. Thanks!

You need an icemaker installation kit from the home store, the plastic tubing is easier, the only other thing is the connection to the valve, it must be adapted to 1/4" compression, you can do this!

I have been given one among those refrigerator/freezers as quickly as I had my kitchen remodelled, and on particularly some activities it stop working, on an identical time as quickly as I gently warmed each thing available with a heavily-located hairdryer. One engineer pronounced 'seem, lady, you have have been given to keep in mind that that's no longer referred to as an American refrigerator-freezer for no longer something, and you realize how lots ice they devour, enormously interior the hotter states? so for you to extract a number of bowls of ice from it daily no count in case you advise to apply them or no longer.' For a at the same time as that labored, yet I might desire to confess that sitting someplace on the record of 'issues to get around to doing' is fixing the ruddy ice-dispenser, because of the fact it has certainly seized up and that i won't be able to undergo the belief-relating to the disruption of having it fastened yet. i do no longer understand no count if that's your difficulty, yet i presumed i might share it.

No, you do not need a plumber. It reads like you have already agreed to pay $10.00 to the delivery person, that should do it for you.
The fridge may have what they need, if not they agreed to hook it up, they should pay for any materials they may need.

if your getting a new GE it should have the line attached to the frig and you wont need anything else. you might pick up a ice maker water line kit just to be safe.. you can always return it

sounds like as long as you have the copper tubing kit to hook up water you can easily do it yourself
