Water line shutoff location

Just took delivery of F.R. Cedar Creek Cottage. It has a double door Whirlpool refrigerator with ice maker and a water outlet for a drink......it came with a water filter which I installed in the refrigerator. No water issues anywhere else in the unit, but no ice cubes or drinking water in the fridge.

Is there some shut-off/on valve somewhere preventing water from reaching the fridge?? I've looked, but have found nothing. I see nothing in the fridge that gives me a hint either??

Any ideas??

Zero paperwork on it, have not chased a model number through Whirlpool. Short answer, I don't know.

After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing the water filter, flush the water system. Use a sturdy container to depress and hold the water dispenser lever for 5 seconds, then release it for 5 seconds. Repeat until water begins to flow. Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing the dispenser lever (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total of 4 gal. (15 L) has been dispensed. This will flush air from the filter and water dispensing system, and prepare the water filter for use. Additional flushing may be required in some households. As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser. NOTE: After 5 minutes of continuous dispensing, the dispenser will stop dispensing water to avoid flooding. To continue dispensing, press the dispenser button again. ■ Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill water. Dispens

Manual for the refrigerator is what I checked before asking where a shut off/on valve might be located. Thanks, but I'm guessing it might be behind the refrigerator, just a W.A.G. on my part. If I can't get to it without trying to pull that out to get behind the fridge, well I'm not about to! Dealer has to come to the unit for something else, so guess I'll put this on them to make happen, whenever that might be!!

If there are a set of drawers next to the Frig pull the drawers out and look on the back wall for a small push/pull valve.

This happened to us on our 38 CC with the same fridge. I traced the small white water line and found it under the driver's side slide next to the frame by the wheels. There is a push pull valve that sits near the frame and a small 1/8 to 1/4 line that runs up to the refrigerator. You need to open this valve to let water flow to the fridge. Once we did that our ice maker and push button for water starting working. The push pull valve is white too.

Thanks for the location options.....once the snow stops flying and I get a chance to poke around these ideas should get me on the right track. Will follow up soon.
