Here are some refrigerator loss prevention and maintenance tips from the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety (IBHS):

Proper installation of the ice maker supply line hose is important to avoiding water damage.

• Tightly connect the hose to the valve, and avoid over-tightening
• Ensure the valve connection is secure and check for kinks
• Inspect the hose every six months
• If kinks are present, replace the hose
• Leave a three-to-four-inch space between the back of the refrigerator and the wall to prevent the hose from crimping
• When pulling the refrigerator out for cleaning or service, avoid getting the hose caught beneath the wheel
• Locate the water shut-off valve
• Inspect the valve every six months to make sure the water supply will shut off, and replace the valve if needed
