On other models, the compressor compartment access cover must be removed in order to access the refrigerator connection at the water valve. 7 CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE REFRIGERATOR (CONT.) Tubing Clamp Ý Compression Nut Ý Tubing Ferrule (sleeve) Refrigerator Connection SmartConnect™ Tubing On models using the refrigeration connection at the water valve, remove the plastic flexible cap. 8 TURN THE WATER ON AT THE SHUTOFF VALVE Tighten any connections that leak. 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 clamp. One of the illustrations below will look like the connection on your refrigerator.
