Installation instructions
iNSTALLiNG THE WATER LiNE
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Recommended copper water supply kits are WX8X2,
WX8X3 or WX8X4, depending on tile _ltllOUn{ of
robing you need. Approved plastic wamr supply lines are
GE SmartConnect _''Refiigemtor Tubing (WX08X10002,
WX08X10006, WX08X10015 and WX08X10025).
When connecting yore refiigemtor to a GE Reverse
Osmosis Water System, tile only appr(wed installation
is with a GE RVKit. For other reverse osnlosis water
systems, follow tile manufi_cmrer's recommendations.
If the water supply to the refiigerator is flom a Reverse
OsIIlosis _!ater Filtration SysteIll AND the refligerator
Nso has a water filte_; use the ref?igerator's filmr bypass
plug. Using the refligerator's water filtration cartridge in
coi_iuncfion with the RO filter can result in hollow ice
cubes and slower water flow flom tile wamr dispenser
This wamr line installation is not warranted by tile
refligerator or icelnaker manuf_tcmrer Follow these
instructions careflflly to minimize tile risk of expensive
water damage.
Water hamlner (water banging in tlle pipes) in house
plumbing can cause damage to refligerator parts and
lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a quNified
plumber to correct water bamlller before installing
tile water supply line to tile refligerator.
To prevent burns and product damage, do not hool<
up the water line to tile hot water line.
If you use your refligemtor before connecting tile water
line, make sure tile icemaker power switch is in the OFF
position.
Do not install tile icemaker robing in areas where
temperatures fh/1 below fieezing.
All installations Inust be in accordance with local
plumbing code requirements.
ZIWARNING - Connect to potable water
supply only.
WHAT YOU WiLL NEED
• Copper or GE SmartConnect TM Refrigerator Tubing
kit, 1/4" outer diameter to connect tile refiigerator
to tile water supply. If using coppm; be sure both
ends of tile tubing are cut square.
To determine how much robing you need: measure
tile distance flom the water valve on tlle back of the
refiigerator to tlle water supply pipe. Be sure there is
sufficient extra tubing to allow tile refligerator to move
out flom tile wall after installation.
GE SmartConnect _''Refligerator Tubing Kits are
available in the fbllowing lengths:
2' (0.6 m) - WX08X10002
6' (1.8 m) - WX08X10006
15' (4.6 m) - WX08X10015
25' (7.6 m) - WX08X10025
WHAT YOU WiLL NEED (CONT.)
NOTE: The only GE approved plastic tubing is that
supplied in GE SmartConnect TM Refrigerator Tubing
kits. Do not use any 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 flom your dealer or flom Parts and Accessories,
800.626.2002.
e A cold water supply. The water pressme 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.
e Power drill.
e 1/2" or adjustable wrench.
e Straight and Phillips blade screwdriver.
• Two 1/4" outer diameter compression nuts and
2 ferrules (sleeves)--to connect tile copper robing
to tile shutoff valve and tile refligerator water vane.
OR
• If you are using a GE SmartConnecff MRefligerator
Tubing kit, the necessa_ T fittings are preassembled to
the tubing.
• If your existing copper water line has a flared fitting
at the end, you will need an adapter (available at
plumbing supply stores) to connect the water line to
tile refligerator OR you can cut off tlle flared fitting
with a tube cutter and then use a compression
fitting. Do not cut formed end fiom GE
SmartConnect TM Refligemtor robing.
• Shutoff valve to connect to tile cold water line.
Tile shutoff valve should have a water inlet with a
minimum inside diameter of 5/32" at tile point of
connection to tile COLD WATER LINE. Saddle-type
shutoff valves are included in many water supply Mrs.
Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type vane
complies with your local plumbing codes. Install the
shutoff vane on the nearest flequent/y used drinking
water line.

Installation instructions
mSHUT OFF MAIN WATER SUPPLY i
V-_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 the connection
to the top or side, rather than at the bottom,
to avoid drawing off any sediment fiom the
water pipe.
Drill a 1/4" hole in the water pipe (even if using a
selfXpiercing vane) using a sharp bit. Remove any
burrs resulting fiom drilling the hole in the pipe.
Take care not to allow water to drain into the drill.
Failure to drill a 1/4" hole may result in reduced
ice production or smaller cubes.
_] FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE
Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with
the pipe clamp.
Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer
begins to swell.
NOTE: Do not overfighten or you may crush the

_-I ROUTE THE TUBING
Route the robing between the cold water line and
the refiigerator.
Route the robing through a hole drilled in the wall
or floor (behind the refiigerator or adjacent base
cabinet) as close to the wall as possible.
NOTE: Be sure there is sufficient extra robing to
allow the refiigerator to move out fiom the wall
after installation.
CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE
VALVE
Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) Rn
copper tubing onto the end of the robing and
connect it to the shutoff valve.
Make sure the tubing is fiflly inserted into the valve.

Normaloperatingsounds.
Newer refrigerators sound different from older refrigerators. Modem refrigerators have
more features and use newer technology.
Do youhear what / hear?Thesesounds are normal.
HUMMM,,
--WHOOSH...
[] The new high efficiency compressor may rurt fitster
and longer than yore old refligerator and you may
hear a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound while
it is operating.
[] Sometimes the refligerator runs for an extended period,
especially when the doors are opened flequent/y. This
means that the Frost GuardTM feature is worMng to
prevent fleezer burn and improve food preservation.
[] You m W hear a whooshing sottnd when the doors close.
This is due to pressme equalizing within the reflJgerator
CLICKS, POPS,
CRACKS and CHIRPS
[] You may hear cracking or popping sounds when the
refligerator is first plugged in. This happens as the
refligerator cools to the correct temperature.
[] Electronic dampers click open and closed to provide
optimal cooling and energy, savings.
[] The compressor may cause a clicking or chirping
sound when attempting to restart (this coukt rake
up to 5 minutes).
[] The electronic control board may cause a clicking
sound when relays activate to control refligerator
cotIlponents.
[] Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during and
after deflost can cause a cracking or popping sound.
[] On models with an icemakm; after an icemaking
cycle, you may hear the ice cubes dropping into
the ice bucket.
WHIR!
[] You may hear the fans spinning at high speeds.
This happens when the refligerator is first plugged
in, when the doors are opened flequently or when
a large amount of food is added to the refiigerator
or fleezer comparmlents. The fires are helping to
maintain the correct temperatures.
[] If either door is open for ()vet 3 Ininums, you Inay
hear the rims come on in order to cool the light bulbs.
[] The f_ms change speeds in order to provide optimal
cooling and energg, savings.
[] The flow of refligerant through the fleezer cooling
coils may make a gurgling noise like boiling water.
[] Water dropping on the def)ost heater can cause a
sizzling, popping or buzzing sound during the
deflost cycle.
[] A water dripping noise may occur dming the deflost
cycle as ice melts flom the evaporator and flows into
the drain pan.
[] Closing the door may cause a gurgling sound due to
pressme equalization.
