I don't have manual for refrigerator and can't figure out how to hook up water line to the ice maker

Are you talking about the main water supply which hooks to the water inlet valve at the bottom on the back of the unit.

Or are you talking about the line going from the water inlet valve up the back of the unit where it hooks to a junction and goes through the back to the ice maker.

It doesn't actually connect to the ice maker. The water goes into a fill tube and just flows into the ice mold per gravity.

IT HOOKS UP ON THE BOTTOM AT THE VALVE SOMEHOW

This diagram shows threaded connectors to screw onto the inlet valve. Most ice maker kits will have the proper fitting with it. Some have a self tapping valve you clamp to the water source and has a fitting for a coil of tubing. Replacement parts for AMANA SRD22S3W | AppliancePartsPros.com
