INSTALLING THE REFRIGERATOR
CONNECTING THE REFRIGERATOR TO
1
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
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
A
end of the tubing coming from the house cold
water supply.
If you are using the GE SmartConnect
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
B
far as possible. While holding the tubing,
tighten the fitting.
If you are using GE SmartConnect
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.
