Installation Instructions

CONNECTING THE REFRIGERATOR TO

THE HOUSE WATER LINE

(icemaker and dispenser models)

A cold water supply is required for automatic

icemaker and dispenser 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 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 GE SmartConnect

™

Refrigerator

Tubing Kit, you will need an additional tube

(WX08X10002) to connect the filter. Do not

cut plastic tube to install filter.

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. Overtightening may cause

leaks.
