Water Valve Behind Refrigerator

[Stevenson]

The old refrigerator was removed and a new refrigerator was installed. The issue is: The shut-off valve was turned back to the "on" (open) position once installing the new hose to new refrigerator but no water is coming from the pipe.

Does anyone happen to have any recommendations?

I wonder if the valve you refer to was a saddle valve on the main supply line. These are cheap gadgets that are sold to DIYer seeking an easy way to connect the ice maker to the water source. If that is the case, I would suggest you remove the saddle valve, cut a tee into the supply line, install a good ball valve then connect the ice maker line to that. This may or may not be your problem but would be a good idea anyway.

Did you have water in the old fridge?
If yes, then look at the valve, it may be the cause. Replace if necessary. If your have a 1/4" line to the fridge, do as described above.
