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.
NO TES:
• 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 'MRefrigerator
Tubing Kit, you will need an additional tube
(WXO8X1 0002) 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 'Mtubing,
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 'M 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.
