REFRIGERATOR SAFETY INFORMATION

SAFETY

WARNING

DANGER

CAUTION

n Unplug the refrigerator before installing ice

maker. Note: Power to the refrigerator cannot be

disconnected by any setting on the control panel.

n Replace all parts and panels before operating

refrigerator.

n Avoid contact with the moving parts of the ice maker

mechanism and with the heating element that

the ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is

plugged in.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce the risk of injury when using your refrigerator, follow these basic

safety precautions.

2

About the automatic icemaker. GEAppliances.com

A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.

Feeler Arm

Automatic Icemaker

The icemaker will produce seven cubes

per cycle approximately 100–130 cubes

in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer

compartment temperature, room temperature,

number of door openings and other use

conditions.

The icemaker will fill with water when it cools to

15°F (–10°C). A newly installed refrigerator may

take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice cubes.

If the refrigerator is operated before the water

line connection is made to the unit or if the

water supply to an operating refrigerator is

turned off, make sure that the icemaker is

turned off. Once the water has been connected

to the refrigerator, the icemaker may be turned

on. To turn the icemaker on or off, use the ICE

MAKER button on the control.

You may hear a buzzing sound each time the

icemaker fills with water.

Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow

the water line to clear.

Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the

feeler arm.

When the bin fills to the level of the feeler arm,

the icemaker will stop producing ice. It is normal

for several cubes to be joined together.

If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will

become cloudy, taste stale and shrink.

NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average water

pressure, you may hear the icemaker cycle

multiple times when making one batch of ice.

WARNING

To minimize the risk of personal injury, avoid contact with the moving parts of the ice

maker mechanism and with the heating element that releases the cubes. Do not place

fingers or hands on the ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.

Refrigerator controls.

Icemaker setting

Press and hold to turn your icemaker on/off.

When you should turn the icemaker OFF

■ When the ice storage bin is removed for more than a minute

or two.

■ When the water supply will be shut off for several hours.

■ When the refrigerator will not be used for several days.

For long vacations or absences, remove food and unplug the

refrigerator. Clean the interior with a baking soda solution of

one tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to one quart (1 liter) of

water. Leave the doors open.

Turn refrigerator off at control (see Quick Install Guide).

If the temperature can drop below freezing, have a qualified

service technician drain the water supply system to prevent

serious property damage due to flooding.

Before going on vacation

1) Turn the cooling system off (see Quick Install Guide) or unplug

the refrigerator.

2) Empty ice bucket

3) Turn water supply off

If you cut the water supply off, turn off the icemaker (see

above).

Upon returning from vacation:

1) Replace the water filter (see Owner’s Manual).

2) Run 2 gallons of water through the cold water dispenser

(about 5 minutes) to flush the system.

3) Turn cooling system on (see Quick Install Guide).

4) Reset Filter Status message (see Quick Use & Care Guide). If

you cut the water supply, turned on icemaker (see above).

Icemaker

Recommended copper water supply kits are WX8X2,

WX8X3 or WX8X4, depending on the amount of

tubing you need. Approved plastic water supply

lines are GE SmartConnect

™

Refrigerator Tubing

(WX08X10006, WX08X10015 and WX08X10025).

When connecting your refrigerator to a GE Reverse

Osmosis Water System, the only approved installation

is with a GE RVKit. For other reverse osmosis water

systems, follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.

If the water supply to the refrigerator is from

a Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water Filtration System

AND the refrigerator also has a water filter,

use the refrigerator’s filter bypass plug. Using

the refrigerator’s water filtration cartridge in

conjunction with the RO water filter can result in

hollow ice cubes.

This water line installation is not warranted

by the refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer.

Follow these instructions carefully to minimize

the risk of expensive water damage.

Water hammer (water banging in the pipes)

in house plumbing can cause damage to

refrigerator parts and lead to water leakage

or flooding. Call a qualified plumber to correct

water hammer before installing the water supply

line to the refrigerator.

To prevent burns and product damage, do not

hook up the water line to the hot water line.

If the refrigerator is operated before the water

connection is made to the icemaker, press and

release the ICE MAKER button on the control panel

to disengage the icemaker. When the refrigerator

has been connected to the water supply, press and

release the ICE MAKER button on the control panel

to re-engage the icemaker.

Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where

temperatures fall below freezing.

When using any electrical device (such as a

power drill) during installation, be sure the device

is double insulated or grounded in a manner to

prevent

the hazard of electric shock, or is battery powered.

All installations must be in accordance with local

plumbing code requirements.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

• Copper or GE SmartConnect

™

Refrigerator Tubing

kit, 1/4” outer diameter to connect

the refrigerator to the water supply. If using

copper, be sure both ends of the tubing are

cut square.

To determine how much tubing you need:

measure the distance from the water valve

on the back of the refrigerator to the water supply

pipe. Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing to allow

the refrigerator to move out from the wall after

installation.

GE SmartConnect

™

Refrigerator Tubing Kits are

available in the following lengths:

8’ (2.4 m) – WX08X10006

15’ (4.6 m) – WX08X10015

25’ (7.6 m) – WX08X10025

NOTE: The only GE approved plastic tubing

is that supplied in GE SmartConnect

™

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 from your dealer or from Parts

and Accessories, 800.626.2002 (in Canada

1.800.661.1616).

• A cold water supply. The water pressure must be

between 20 and 120 p.s.i. (1.4–8.1 bar).

• Power drill.

• 1/2” or adjustable wrench.

• Straight and Phillips blade screwdriver.

• Two 1/4” outer diameter compression nuts

and 2 ferrules (sleeves)—to connect the copper

tubing to the shutoff valve and the refrigerator

water valve.

OR

• If you are using a GE SmartConnect

™

Refrigerator Tubing kit, the necessary fittings

are pre-assembled to the tubing.

4

Installing the water line.

• 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 the refrigerator OR you can cut

off the flared fitting with a tube cutter and then

use a compression fitting. Do not cut formed end

from GE SmartConnect

™

Refrigerator tubing.

• Shutoff valve to connect to the cold water line.

The shutoff valve should have a water inlet with

a minimum inside diameter of 5/32” at the point of

connection to the COLD WATER LINE. Saddle-type

shutoff valves are included in many water supply

kits. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type

valve complies with your local plumbing codes.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED (CONT.)

SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY

Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear

the line of water.

Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used

drinking water line.

1

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

from the water pipe.

CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION

2

DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE

3

Drill a 1/4” hole in the water pipe (even if using

a self-piercing valve), using a sharp bit. Remove

any burrs resulting from 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.

5

Installing the water line. (cont.)

CONNECTING THE REFRIGERATOR

TO THE HOUSE WATER LINE

A cold water supply is required for automatic icemaker

operation. If there is not a cold water supply, you will

need to provide one. See Installing the Water Line

section.

NOTES:

• Before making the connection to the refrigerator, be

sure the refrigerator power cord is not plugged into

the wall outlet.

• If you are not using your refrigerator water filter, we

recommend installing one if your water supply has

sand or particles that could clog the screen of the

refrigerator’s water valve. Install it in the water line

near the refrigerator. If using GE SmartConnect

™

Refrigerator Tubing Kit, you will need an additional

tube (WX08X10002) to connect the filter. Do not cut

plastic tube to install filter.

• Before connecting the water line to the house, purge

the house line for at least 2 minutes.

• If you are using copper tubing, place a compression

nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the end of the tubing

coming from the house cold water supply.

If you are using the GE SmartConnect

™

tubing, the

nuts are already assembled to the tubing.

• If you are using copper tubing, insert the end of the

tubing into the refrigerator connection, at the back of

the refrigerator, as far as possible. While holding the

tubing, tighten the fitting.

If you are using GE SmartConnect

™

tubing, insert

the molded end of the tubing into the refrigerator

connection, at the back of the refrigerator, and tighten

the compression nut until it is hand tight. Then tighten

one additional turn with a wrench. Over tightening

may cause leaks.

• Fasten the tubing into the clamp provided to hold it in

position. You may need to pry open the clamp.
