Can you explain more on just how you did it. I need to do mine on my BH? Thanks
I bought a 25' braided line and started at the connection at sink. I used a connector I bought at Lowe's to hook the new and old lines together. The only problem I had was getting it started under the sink. The line goes down into the underbelly and I couldn't get it to go more that a few inches where the connection would get hung up. After searching with my fingers, I used a camera and found the old line was ran between the pex going to sink and a power line that had the black plastic wrap around it. This was causing the connection to hang. I was able to use my fingers and pull the wrapped line away and then push the new line through. After I did this, I was able to pull the line through from the frame. Once at frame, I removed a couple of screws from underbelly and got my hand up to push connection through frame.
I followed old line over to the other side of the slide where the line goes up into it. I used a drimel tool to make the opening a little larger to pass new line up into slide, and then pulled up to fridge. The 25' line would just barely reach the fridge, so I added a 5' piece to make it easier to connect.
I was expecting the hard part to be getting the fridge out, but it was easy. Up top remove the decorative board and the frame behind it. There is then a "L" bracket on back of fridge connecting it to wall with 2 screws. I removed the 2 screws in the wall. Under the fridge, take off the plastic piece and there is a screw on each side by the front casters attaching it to floor. I removed these. I had some old 2" x 4"'s and some 2" x 10"'s laying around and found that laying the 2x10 on top of the 2x4 was the perfect height for a platform to roll the fridge out onto. I put some cardboard to cover the wood molding and it rolled out easily. Make sure the fridge electric cord and old water line are pushed through hole in cabinet to the fridge side so they don't get hung up when you pull fridge out.
When I hooked up the new line, I made a small bracket out of some scrap sheet metal(actually and old bracket for drapes) and bent it around the new line and then connected to back of fridge to hold the line and keep it from pulling against the connection to the fridge.
I know this sounds like alot, but it was easy. Without the initial problem of getting line to start under the sink, it would have been an easy afternoon project by myself. It also gave me a reason to by the inspection camera(new toy) at Harbor Freight. Think it was around $30.
