PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE REFRIGERATOR

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of

the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still

dangerous…even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If

you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow

the instructions below to help prevent accidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or

Freezer:

 Take off the doors.

 Leave the shelves in place so that children may not

easily climb inside.

Refrigerants

All refrigeration products contain refrigerants, which

under federal law must be removed prior

to product disposal. If you are getting rid of an

old refrigeration product, check with the company

handling the disposal about what to do.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend

against the use of an extension cord.

However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed (in the United States) or a

CSA-listed (in Canada), 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet

and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.

DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:



 This refrigerator must be properly installed

and located in accordance with the Installation

Instructions before it is used.



 Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang

on the shelves in the refrigerator. They could damage

the refrigerator and seriously injure themselves.



 Do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer

compartment when hands are damp or wet. Skin may

stick to these extremely cold surfaces.



 Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable

vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other

appliance.

NOTE: Turning the refrigerator off via the controls on

the touch panel does not shut off electrical power to the

refrigerator.



 Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed

completely.



 In refrigerators with automatic icemakers,

avoid contact with the moving parts of the

ejector mechanism, or with the heating element that

releases the cubes. Do not place fingers or hands on

the automatic icemaking mechanism while the

refrigerator is plugged in.



 Keep fingers out of the “pinch point” areas;

clearances between the doors and between

the doors and cabinet are necessarily small.

Be careful closing doors when children are

in the area.



 Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and making

repairs.

NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be

performed by a qualified individual.

GEAppliances.com

WARNING!

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For

personal safety, this appliance must

be properly grounded.



 The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates

with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock

hazard from this appliance.



 Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is

properly grounded.



 If the outlet is a standard 2-prong outlet, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to

have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

Read and follow this Safety Information carefully.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

INSURE PROPER GROUND

EXISTS BEFORE USE



 The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own

individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that

matches the rating plate.



 This provides the best performance and also prevents

overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire

hazard from overheated wires.



 Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord.

Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.



 Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have

become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that

shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either

end.



 When moving the refrigerator away from the

wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the

power cord.

Important Facts About Your Dispenser

 Do not add ice from trays or bags to the storage bin. It may

not crush or dispense well.

 Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use of narrow glasses.

Backed-up ice can jam the chute or cause the door in the

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

through with a wooden spoon.

 Beverages and foods should not be quick-chilled in the ice

storage bin. Cans, bottles or food packages in the storage bin

may cause the icemaker or auger to jam.

 To keep dispensed ice from missing the glass, put the glass

close to, but not touching, the dispenser opening.

 Some crushed ice may be dispensed even though you selected

Cubed. This happens occasionally when a few cubes have been

left in the crusher.

 After crushed ice is dispensed, some water may drip from the

chute.

 Sometimes a small mound of snow will form on the door in

the ice chute. This condition is normal and usually occurs

when you have dispensed crushed ice repeatedly. The snow

will eventually evaporate.

 The first glass of water dispensed may be warmer than the

following ones. This is normal.

 Dispensed water is not ice cold. For colder water, simply add

crushed ice or cubes before dispensing water.

Ice Storage Drawer on Dispenser Models

To remove:

Slide the icemaker power switch to the OFF position. Pull

the drawer straight out and then lift past the stop position.

To replace:

When replacing the drawer, make sure to push it firmly

into place. If it does not go all the way back, remove it and

rotate the drive mechanism 1/4 turn. Then push the

drawer back again.

Spill Shelf

About the automatic icemaker.

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.

Icemaker Accessory Kit

If your refrigerator did not come already equipped

with an automatic icemaker, an icemaker accessory kit

is available at extra cost. Check the back of the

refrigerator for the specific icemaker kit needed for

your model.

About the water filter cartridge. (On some models.)

Water Filter Cartridge

The water filter cartridge is located in the back upper right

corner of the refrigerator compartment.

When to Replace the Filter on Models With a

Replacement Indicator Light

There is a replacement indicator light for the water filter

cartridge on the dispenser. This light will turn orange to tell you

that you need to replace the filter soon.

The filter cartridge should be replaced when the replacement

indicator light turns red or if the flow of water to the dispenser or

icemaker decreases.

When to Replace the Filter on Models Without a

Replacement Indicator Light

The filter cartridge should be replaced every six months

or earlier if the flow of water to the water dispenser or icemaker

decreases.

Removing the Filter Cartridge

If you are replacing the cartridge, first remove the old one by

slowly turning it to the left. Do not pull down on the cartridge. A

small amount of water may drip down.

Installing the Filter Cartridge

If you are replacing a

SmartWater cartridge

with an adapter, it must

be removed before

installing the cartridge.

To remove the adapter,

turn it to the left about

1/4 turn.

If you are replacing a

Water by Culligan cartridge,

leave the adapter in place.

This adapter will stay in the refrigerator when you replace

future cartridges.

On models without a replacement indicator light,

apply the month and year sticker to the new cartridge to

remind you to replace the filter in six months.

Fill the replacement cartridge with water from the tap to

allow for better flow from the dispenser immediately after

installation.

Line up the arrow on the cartridge and the cartridge holder.

Place the top of the new cartridge up inside the holder. Do

not push it up into the holder.

Slowly turn it to the right until

the filter cartridge stops. DO NOT

OVERTIGHTEN. As you turn the

cartridge, it will automatically

raise itself into position. The

cartridge will move about 1/2

turn.

un water from the dispenser

for 1-1/2 gallons (about three

minutes) to clear the system and prevent sputtering.

Press and hold the RESET WATER FILTER pad (on some

models) on the dispenser for three seconds.

Filter Bypass Plug

You must use the filter bypass plug when a replacement filter

cartridge is not available. The dispenser and the icemaker will not

operate without the filter or filter bypass plug.

To use the filter bypass plug on Water by Culligan models,

you must first remove the filter adapter from the cartridge

holder by turning it to the left.

For the maximum benefit of your filtration system, GE

recommends the use of GE branded SmartWater filters only.

Using GE branded filters in GE and Hotpoint refrigerators

provides optimal performance and reliability. GE branded

SmartWater filters are always the right choice because they are

patented and designed specifically for GE products. GE

SmartWater filters meet rigorous industry NSF standards for

safety and quality that are important for products that are

filtering your water. GE has not qualified non-GE branded filters

for use in GE and Hotpoint refrigerators and there is no

assurance that non-GE branded filters meet GE’s standards for

quality, performance and reliability.

About the automatic icemaker. GEAppliances.com

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

Automatic Icemaker(on some models)

When the refrigerator has been connected to

the water supply, slide the power switch to the

ON position.

The icemaker will fill with water when

it cools to 15°F. When the bin fills to the level

of the feeler arm, the icemaker will stop

producing ice.

Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the

feeler arm.

Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow

the water line to clear.

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.

You will hear a buzzing sound each time the

icemaker fills with water.

Cleaning the Inside

To help prevent odors, leave an open box of baking

soda in the refrigerator and freezer compartments.

Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning. If this is not

practical, wring excess moisture out of sponge or

cloth when cleaning around switches, lights or

controls.

Use warm water and baking soda solution—about

a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda

to a quart (1 l) of water. This both cleans and

neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe dry.

After cleaning the door gaskets, apply a thin layer

of petroleum jelly to the door gaskets

at the hinge side. This helps keep the gaskets from

sticking and bending out of shape.

Drain opening in freezer compartment. During yearly

cleaning, remove bottom freezer pan and flush a

solution of baking soda—1 teaspoon (5 ml) and 2

cups (500 ml) of hot (not boiling) water—through

the drain line with the help of a meat baster. This

will help eliminate odor and reduce the likelihood

of a clogged drain line. If drain becomes clogged,

use a meat baster and baking soda solution to force

the clog through the drain line.

Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves with hot water

because the extreme temperature difference may cause

them to break. Handle glass shelves carefully. Bumping

tempered glass can cause it to shatter. Do not wash any

plastic refrigerator parts in the dishwasher.

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 l) of water.

Leave the doors open.

Slide the icemaker power switch to the OFF position and shut off

the water supply to the refrigerator.

Behind the Refrigerator

Be careful when moving the refrigerator away from the wall. All

types of floor coverings can be damaged, particularly cushioned

coverings and those with embossed surfaces.

Pull the refrigerator straight out and return it to position

by pushing it straight in. Moving the refrigerator in a side

direction may result in damage to the floor covering or

refrigerator.

When pushing the refrigerator back, make sure you don’t roll over

the power cord or icemaker supply line (on some models).

Preparing for Vacation

Preparing to Move

Secure all loose items such as grille, shelves and drawers by taping them securely in place to prevent damage.

Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright position during moving.

NOTE: Turning the refrigerator to the 0 (off) setting via the controls does not shut off electrical power to the refrigerator.

Replacing the Light Bulbs

Unplug the refrigerator.

Remove the shelf just below the light shield.

Replace with an appliance bulb of the same or lower wattage.

Reinstall the shelf and plug the refrigerator back in.

Cleaning the Outside

The dispenser drip area, (on some models) beneath

the grille, should be wiped dry. Water left in this

area may leave deposits. Remove the deposits by

adding undiluted vinegar to the well. Soak until the

deposits disappear or become loose enough to rinse

away.

The dispenser cradle (on some models). Before

cleaning, lock the dispenser by pressing and holding

the Lock pad for 3 seconds. Clean with warm water

and baking soda solution—about

a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to a quart (1 l)

of water. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.

The door handles and trim. Clean with a cloth

dampened with soapy water. Dry with a soft cloth.

Keep the outside clean. Wipe with a clean cloth

lightly dampened with kitchen appliance wax or

mild liquid dish detergent. Dry and polish with a

clean, soft cloth.

The stainless steel door panels and handles.

The stainless steel panels can be cleaned with

a commercially available stainless steel cleaner

or a similar product using a clean, soft cloth. Do

not use appliance wax, polish, bleach or products

containing chlorine on stainless steel doors and

handles.

For best results, GE recommends using stainless steel

cleaner PM10X311 with the WX10X307 polishing

cloth, or for convenience the SS cleaning wipes, part

number WX10X10001.

Do not wipe the refrigerator with a soiled dish cloth

or wet towel. These may leave a residue that can

erode the paint. Do not use scouring pads,

powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners containing

bleach because these products can scratch and

weaken the paint finish.

go below 60°F (16°C) because it will not run often enough

to maintain proper temperatures.

• Install it on a floor strong enough to support it fully

loaded.

Allow the following clearances for ease of installation,

proper air circulation and plumbing and electrical connections.

• Sides 1/8″ (4 mm) • Top 1″ (25 mm) • Back 1″ (25 mm)

A door clearance of 3/4″ (19 mm) is needed for a 90º door

opening which provides better access to food storage area.

CLEARANCES

If the refrigerator has an icemaker, it will have to be

connected to a cold water line. A GE water supply kit is

available at extra cost from your dealer, by visiting our

Website at GEAppliances.com (in Canada, at

www.GEAppliances.ca), or from Parts and Accessories,

800.626.2002.

The rollers have 3 purposes:

 Rollers adjust so the door closes easily when opened about

halfway.

 Rollers adjust so the refrigerator is firmly positioned on the

floor and does not wobble.

 Rollers allow you to move the refrigerator away from the

wall for cleaning.

To adjust the rollers, remove the base grille by pulling it out

at the bottom.

Turn the roller adjusting screws clockwise to raise the

refrigerator, counterclockwise to lower it. Use an adjustable

wrench (3/8″ hex head bolt) or pliers.

To replace base grille, line up the clips on back of grille

between the bar and the bottom of the cabinet. Push forward

until grille snaps into place.

ROLLERS

To remove the base

grille, open the doors

and then pull the

grille straight out.

DOOR ALIGNMENT

After leveling, make sure that doors are even at the top.

To make the doors even, adjust the refrigerator door.

Using a 5/16″ socket wrench, turn the door adjusting screw

to the right to raise the door, to the left to lower it. (A nylon

plug, embedded in the threads of the pin, prevents the pin

from turning unless a wrench is used.)

After one or two turns of the wrench, open and close the

refrigerator compartment door and check the alignment at

the top of the doors.

Installation Instructions

INSTALLING THE WATER LINE

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 (WX08X10002,

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 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 filter can result in hollow ice cubes

and slower water flow from the water dispenser.

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 you use your refrigerator before connecting the water line,

make sure the icemaker power switch is in the OFF position.

Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where

temperatures fall below freezing.

All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing

code requirements.

WARNING – Connect to potable water

supply only.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

• 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:

2′ (0.6 m) – WX08X10002

6′ (1.8 m) – WX08X10006

15′ (4.6 m) – WX08X10015

25′ (7.6 m) – WX08X10025

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

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.

• A cold water supply. The water pressure 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 and

2 ferrules (sleeves)—to connect the copper tubing

to the shutoff valve and the refrigerator water valve.

• If you are using a GE SmartConnect™ Refrigerator

Tubing kit, the necessary 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 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. Install the

shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used drinking

water line.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED (CONT.)

Installation Instructions

SHUT OFF MAIN WATER SUPPLY

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.

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.

DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE 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 overtighten or you may crush the

tubing.

NOTE: Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing

Codes 248CMR shall be adhered to. Saddle valves are

illegal and use is not permitted in Massachusetts. Consult

with your licensed plumber.

NOTE: Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing to allow

the refrigerator to move out from the wall after

installation.

ROUTE THE TUBING

Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for copper

tubing onto the end of the tubing and connect it to the

shutoff valve.

Make sure the tubing is fully inserted into the valve.

Tighten the compression nut securely.

For plastic tubing from a GE SmartConnect™

Refrigerator Tubing kit, insert the molded end

of the tubing into the shutoff valve and tighten

compression nut until it is hand tight, then tighten one

additional turn with a wrench. Overtightening may

cause leaks.

• If your refrigerator does not have a 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 a GE SmartConnect™

Refrigerator Tubing kit, you

will need an additional tube (WX08X10002)

to connect the filter. Do not cut plastic tube

to install filter.

CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE

REFRIGERATOR

Installation Instructions

Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the

end of the tubing as shown. On a GE SmartConnect

™

Refrigerator Tubing kit, the nuts

are already assembled to the tubing.

Insert the end of the tubing into the refrigerator

connection as far as possible. While holding the tubing,

tighten the fitting.

For plastic tubing from a GE SmartConnect

™

Refrigerator Tubing kit, insert the molded end of the

tubing into the refrigerator connection and tighten the

compression nut until it is hand tight, then tighten one

additional turn with a wrench. Overtightening may

cause leaks.

Fasten the tubing into the clamp provided as shown to

keep it in position. You may need to pry open the

Before you call for service…

Newer refrigerators sound different from older refrigerators. Modern refrigerators have

more features and use newer technology.

Do you hear what I hear? These sounds are normal.

HUMMM...

WHOOSH...



The new high efficiency compressor may run faster and

longer than your old refrigerator and you may hear a

high-pitched hum or pulsating sound while

it is operating.



Sometimes the refrigerator runs for an extended period,

especially when the doors are opened frequently. This means

that the Frost Guard™ feature is working to prevent freezer

burn and improve food preservation.



You may hear a whooshing sound when the doors close. This

is due to pressure equalizing within the refrigerator.



You may hear the fans spinning at high speeds.

This happens when the refrigerator is first plugged in,

when the doors are opened frequently or when

a large amount of food is added to the refrigerator or

freezer compartments. The fans are helping to maintain

the correct temperatures.



If either door is open for over 3 minutes, you may hear the

fans come on in order to cool the light bulbs.



The fans change speeds in order to provide optimal

cooling and energy savings.

CLICKS, POPS,

CRACKS and CHIRPS



You may hear cracking or popping sounds when the

refrigerator is first plugged in. This happens as the

refrigerator 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 could take

up to 5 minutes).



The electronic control board may cause a clicking sound

when relays activate to control refrigerator components.



Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during and

after defrost can cause a cracking or popping sound.



On models with an icemaker, after an icemaking cycle,

you may hear the ice cubes dropping into

the ice bucket.

WATER SOUNDS



The flow of refrigerant through the freezer cooling coils

may make a gurgling noise like boiling water.



Water dropping on the defrost heater can cause a sizzling,

popping or buzzing sound during the defrost cycle.



A water dripping noise may occur during the defrost cycle

as ice melts from the evaporator and flows into the drain

pan.



Closing the door may cause a gurgling sound due to

pressure equalization.
