temperature will go above 100°F (37°C)
because it will not perform properly.

support it fully loaded.

CONNECTING THE REFRIGERATOR
TO THE HOUSE WATER LINE
(icemaker models)
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 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 TM Refrigerator
Tubing Kit, you will need an additional
tube (WX08X10002) to connect the filter.
Do not cut plastic tube to install filter.
