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.

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.
