Improper installation of kenmore refrig.

Question

In our new home the plumbers installed a Kenmore Elete side-by-side. The next morning there was a leak from apparently the icemaker ruining the new wooden floor. The Sears man said it was not their fault but that the water line was not bled free of air by the plumber causing the leak.(All connections tight). My contractor says that is bull and a ploy by sears to avoid paying for the damages, and that line bleeding is not necessary since any Tom d**k or Harry can do the installation and not that complicated. What do you all think.Mark Allen, [e-mail]
