A water line allows you to make ice in your refrigerator. Refrigerators that feature built-in water dispensers or automatic ice makers need to be connected to a water source. Fridges without ice makers or water dispensers dont need any type of water source to function properly.

How often should you change your fridge?

Fridges with freezers on top can usually be repaired within the first three years of their life, but may need to be replaced in seven years or less. Retire fridges older than 10 years. Refrigerators are expected to last between 10 and 20 years.

Does a refrigerator without ice maker need water line?

Of course, if your refrigerator doesnt have an ice maker or water dispenser, or if it has one or both features but you prefer not to use them, there is no need to install a refrigerator water line.
