If we wanted to purchase a fridge with the filtered water and ice-maker....DO you REALLY need a plumber to connect it up to the water outlet in the wall??? The delivery would only incorporate the physical positioning it in the house wouldn't it? They are not going to actually connect it up for you so do you really need to call out a plumber for a 5 minute job???? I know a few members have these types of fridges so i thought i'd ask what you did when connecting your fridge????   18 Dec 2007 144 Sydney Senior Member Re: Water & Ice Fridge Connenction 2Mar 25, 2008 5:26 pm As far as I'm aware you only need a plumber if you dont already have a water outlet near your fridge.
Its like connectinig up a d/washer or washing machine. Companies always recommend you get a licensed tradie to install their products but who really does. Go overboard with the silicon tape and you should be fine. If you get a puddle of water under the fridge you know why!  21 Dec 2007 381 Melbourne, Australia Gold Member Re: Water & Ice Fridge Connenction 3Mar 25, 2008 7:02 pm We're getting a tap put into the fridge space for just this purpose.

Either that or there is a puppy in the house
re your q p, Nope - if the tap exists, do it yourself. Do you get the plumber in to change the hose in the garden

DO it yourself. Make sure you read the manual for any special requirements. It is ridiculously simple (1 connection) and less work than a dishwasher (2 connections) or a washing machine (3 connections) Remember too. Teflon tape and monkey wrench's are your friends Re: Water & Ice Fridge Connenction 9Mar 26, 2008 12:06 am  mattwalkerP, DO it yourself. Make sure you read the manual for any special requirements.

But in all seriousness, thanks everyone, another task for my unpaid labourer (Ian) it seems...now all i have to do is buy the fridge!!! "Hey hunny.......you wanna go out shopping.........AGAIN?????"  I have watched a video on how to clear the pipe which takes water (condensation?)from the freezer to the pan underneath the fridge but unfortunately it was for a fridge… 2 1646 I have a Fisher & Paykal E372B fridge with a bottommounted freezer. Of late the fridge has been leaking twice a day. I have seen a Youtube video which says that the leak… 0 2333 you can also look at fresh water chlorine generators. they still require salt, but it's 1200ppm or so, instead of 5500 for traditional salt water pools, or 2500-3000 for… 2 5030 |
