That said, many don't know this and never change the hose until it leaks or bursts so there is a good chance after a new refrigerator is installed that a leak or flood can happen and the retailer blamed because they were the last ones to touch the refrigerator. Lowes and or HomeDepot for example will connect up dishwashers because they always change the water supply hoses and connections and the drain.

I don't understand. My dishwasher has the same push-pull type valve as my refrigerator. So, Home Depot will install a dishwasher, but not a refrigerator? I don't see the difference. According to the Home Depot website, they will install dishwashers and refrigerators.
