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
TM Refrigerator
Tubing
Kit, you will
need an additional
tube
(WXO8XIO002)
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
TM
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
TM
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.

Fasten
the tubing
into the clamp
provided
to hold
it in position.
You may need to pry
open the clamp.
