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

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
