Important Facts About Your Dispenser

_: Do not add ice fl'om trays oi" bags to tile storage bin. It

may not crush or (lispeI{se well.

iJi::Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use of narrow glasses.

chute to freeze shut. If ice is blocking the chute, poke it

through with a wooden spoon.

iJi::Beverages and toods should not be quick-chilled in the

ice storage bin. Cans, bottles or toed packages in the
storage bin may cause the icemaker or auger to jam.

Installation Instructions

INSTALLING THE WATER LINE

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Recomn_ended copper water supply kits are _4UX8X2,
WX8X3 or _X8X4, depending on the amom_t of
tubing you need. Approved plastic water SUl_ply lines are
GE Smart(:onnect _'_Refl_igerator Tubing (_4_X08X10002,

WX08X10006, WX08X10015 and X43X08X10025).
When connecting yore" refl'igerator to a GE Reverse

Osmosis _'_ter System, the only approved installation
is with a GE RV/4dt. For other reve_e osmosis water

systems, tollow the inanufilcturer's recommendations.
If the water supply to the reti'igerator is ti'om a Revei_e

Osmosis X4'ater Filtration System AND the refrigerator
also has a water filtei; use the reti'igerator's filter byl)ass
plug. Using the refrigerator's water filtration cartridge in
conjunction with the RO filter can result in hollow ice
cubes and slower water flow fl'om the water dispenser.

This water line installation is not warranted by the
refrigerator or icemaker manufi_cturer. Follo_' these
instructions carefifllv to minimize the risk of expensive

water damage.
_'ater hammer (water banging in the pipes) in house

plmnbing can cause damage to reflJgerator parts and
lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified
phunber to correct water hammer before installing
the water supply line to the refl_igerator.

To prevent bm'ns and product damage, do not hook

up the water line to the hot water line.

If wm use your refrigerator betore connecting the water
line, make'sm'e the icemaker power switch is in the 0

(Off) position.

Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where
temperatm'es tall below freezing.

All installations ulust be in accordance with local
pltmfl)ing code reqtfirements.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED (CONT.)

NOTE: The tufty GE approved plastic tubing is that
supplied in GE SmaxtCmmect TM Refrigerator Tubing

kits. Do not use m_y other plastic water supply line
because the line is under pressure at all times. Certain
types of plastic will crack or rupture with age and
cause water damage to your home.

• A GE water supply kit (containing tubing, shutoff

valve and fittings listed below) is available at extra

cost fl'om your dealer or fl'om Parts and Accessories,

800.626.2002.

• A cold water supply. The water pressm'e must be

between 20 and 120 p.s.i. (1.4-8.2 bar) on models

without a water filter and between 40 and 120 p.s.i.

(2.8-8.2 bar) on models with a water filter.

• Power drill.

• 1/2" or adjustable wrench.

• Straight and Phillips blade screwdriver.

• Two 1/4" outer diameter compression nuts m_d
2 ferrules (sleeves)--to connect the COl)per tubing
to the shutoff wflve and the refl'igerator water wflve.

OR

• If wm are using a GE Smart(_onnect TM Refl'igerator
Tubing kit, the necessary fittings are preassembled to
the tubing.

WARNING - Com,e,ttop.t ,ble,, ,te,

supply only.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

• Copper or GE SmartCmmecf _"Refrigerator Tubing
kit, l/4" outer diameter to connect the refi'igerator

to the water supply. If using copper, be sm'e both
ends of the tubing are cut square.

To determine how much tubing you need: measm'e
the distance ti'om the water wflve on the back of the

refrigerator to the water supply pipe. Be sm'e there is
sufficient extra tubing to allow the refl'igerator to move

out fl'om the wall alier installation.
GE SlnartConnect _''Refl'igerator Tubing Kits are

available in the ti_llowing lengths:
2' (0.6 m) - WX08X10002

6' (t.8 m) - _4UX08X10006

15' (4.6 m) - WX08X10015

25' (7.6 m) - WX08X10025

• If wmr existing COl)per water line has a flared fitting
at the end, you will need an adapter (available at
i)lmnbing supply stores) to connect the water line to
the refrigerator OR you can ctlt off the flared fitting

with a tube cutter and then use a compression

fitting. Do not cut ti_rmed end from GE
Smart(_onnect TM Refl'igerator tubing.

• Shutoff valve to connect to the cold water line.
The shutoff wflve should have a water inlet with a

minimmn inside diameter of 5/32" at the point of
connection to the COLD WATER LINE. Saddle-type
shutoffwflves are included in many water supl)ly kits.
Before pro'chasing, make sm'e a saddle-Vpe wflve
complies with yore" local phunbing codes. Install the
shutoff valve on the nearest ti'equently used drinking

water line.

Installation Instructions

[] SHUT OFF MAIN WATER SUPPLY

[] DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE

Choose a location for the valve that is easily
accessible. It is best to connect into the side of a

vertical water pipe. When it is necessary to connect
into a horizontal water pipe, make tile 'connection

to the top or side, rather than at the bottom,
to aw)id drawing off any sediment fl'om the
water pipe.

Drill a ]/4" hole in the water pipe (even if using a
self:piercing valve) using a sharp bit. Remove any
burrs resulting fi'om drilling tile hole in tile pipe.

TaKe canre not to allow water to drain into the drill.
Failure to drill a l/4" hole may result in reduced

ice production or smaller cubes.

[] CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE

I

VALVE

Place tile compression nut and ti_Hule (sleeve) flw

(-opper tubing onto tile end of tile tubing and
connect it to tile shutoff valve.

Make sure the tubing is fiflly inserted into the wflve.
Tighten tile compression nut securel)'.

For plastic tubing fl'om a GE Sinart(]onnect TM
Refligerator Tubing kit, insert tile molded end

of the tubing into the shutoff wflve and tighten
compression nut until it is hand tight, then tighten

one additional turn with a wrench. Overtightening

Route tile robing through a hole drilled in tile wall
or floor (behind tile refligerator or a(!jacent base
cabinet) as close to the wall as possible.

NOTE; Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing to
allow the refrigerator to move out fi'om the wall
after installation.

[] FLUSH OUT THE TUBING

Turn tile main water suI_pl,v on and flush out tile
tul)ing until tile water is clear.

[]

CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE
REFRIGERATOR

NOTES:

• gefl)re making tile connection to tile refligerator,
be sure tile refligerator power cord is not
plugged into the wall outlet.

• If your refligerator does not have a water filter,
we recommend installing one if vour water SUl)ply
has sand or particles that could clog tile screen of
the refrigerator's water wflve. Install it in the
water line near tile refligerator. If using a GE
SmartConnect TM Refl'igerator Tubing kit, you
will need an additional tube (WX08X10009)
to connect tile filter. Do not cut plastic tube

to install filter.

HUMMM...

--WHOOSH...

• The new high efficiency conq)ressor may Iun faster

and hmger than your old refi'igerator and you may
hear a high-i)itched hum or pulsating sound while

it is operating.

• Sometimes the reti-igerator runs t0r an extended period,
especially when the dooi5 are opened ti'equently. This
means that the Frost GuardT"feature is working to

prevent fl'eezer burn and iinl)rove t0od i)reservation.

• Electronic dampers click open and closed t(> pr(wide

• The electronic control board may cause a clicking

• Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during and

• On models with an icemakei; after an icemaking
cycle, you may hear the ice cubes dropping into

the ice bucket.

WHIRl

• You mav hear the rims splinting at high speeds.

This hal)pens when the refrigerator is first plugged
in, when the doors are opened fl'equently or when

a laige aulotu]t of food is added to the refi'igerator
or freezer compartments. The rims are helping to

u]aintain the correct temperatures.

• If either door is open fi>r over 3 uiinutes, you uiay

• The rims change speeds in order to provide optimal

• The flow of refl'igerant through the fl'eezer cooling
coils may make a gurgling noise like boiling water,

• Water dropping (m the defl'ost heater can cause a

• A water dripping noise may occur during the defrost
cycle as ice melts fi'om the ewq)orator and flows into
