Samsung plumbed in American fridge
Discussion
My old fridge has given up the ghost. It was over ten years old, I'm not complaining.
I've bought a Samsung plumbed in replacement. But I'm unsure what it comes with. Do I need to buy filters and fittings?
Luckily I've had a rummage and discovered that the previous occupant of the house had the foresight to have plumbed in a water supply for the fridge. One end is properly attached under the sink to the cold supply with a stop cock. The other end is terminated as the iffy pics below (apologies, not the easiest to get to).
My question is, what do I need to connect the fridge to this cold water supply?

Your new fridge should come together with some pipe and fittings included.
Mine packed up last month and I bought a Samsung too.
However, mine was the shop display unit with a handsome discount, but they couldn't find the fittings.
I bought a kit from a local domestic appliance repair shop.
He did recommend I replace the plastic pipe for new.
The fittings are push fit.
Remove the blue clip, slip the fitting onto the pipe and re-insert the clip to lock.

I ahead Samsung plumbed jn American fridge. It came with almost everything you need. Only thing I needed to get was a copper tee with isolator to connect to the main.
It will come with a filter and will flash inside when it need changing. ESpares a good place to order replacements.
Word of caution. The filter connects by pushing the pipe into each end and held in place with a retaining clip. You have to push the pipe in pretty hard till it clicks in. Otherwise you turn it on and will have a fountain in your kitchen- ask me how I know.
