A relatively conservative estimate for installing a Â¾ or full bathroom in a basement is $8,000 to $12,000. Installing a Â½ bath in the basement might cost as little as $5,000.
The refrigerator water supply line connects to a water inlet valve installed inside the bottom of the refrigerator. The line supplying water to your ice maker attaches to the valve. When the ice maker requires water, it sends an electric signal to the inlet valve to open and allow the water to fill the mold in the ice maker.
This allows water to flow through the valve and into the ice cube tray. The water is frozen into cubes, and the cubes are dumped into the ice bin. As time passes, strange things may happen to the refrigerator's icemaking capability.
