Installation Instructions

INSTALLING THE WATER LINE

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Recommended copper water supply kits are WX8X2, WX8X3 or WX8X4, depending on the amount of tubing you need. Approved plastic water supply lines are GE SmartConnect™ Refrigerator Tubing (WX08X10006, WX08X10015 and WX08X10025).

When connecting your refrigerator to a GE Reverse Osmosis Water System, the only approved installation is with a GE RVKit. For other reverse osmosis water systems, follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.

If the water supply to the refrigerator is from

a Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water Filtration System AND the refrigerator also has a water filter, use the refrigerator’s filter bypass plug. Using the refrigerator’s water filtration cartridge in conjunction with the RO water filter can result in hollow ice cubes.

This water line installation is not warranted by the refrigerator or ice maker manufacturer. Follow these instructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water damage.

Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in house plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts and lead to water leakage

or flooding. Call a qualified plumber to correct water hammer before installing the water supply line to the refrigerator.

To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook up the water line to the hot water line.

For PFE27 and PYE23K Models: If the refrigerator is operated before the water connection is made to the ice maker, press and hold both the CRUSHED and CUBED buttons together for 3 seconds to disengage the ice maker. When the refrigerator has been connected to the water supply, press and hold both the CRUSHED and CUBED buttons together for 3 seconds to re-engage the ice maker.

For Non-LCD Models: If the refrigerator is operated before the water connection is made to the ice maker, press and release the ICE MAKER button on the control panel to disengage the ice maker. When the refrigerator has been connected to the water supply, press and release the ICE MAKER button on the control panel to re-engage the ice maker.

For PFE29 and PYE23P Models: If the refrigerator is operated before the water connection is made to the ice maker, see ICE MAKER under SETTINGS menu of the LCD Operations section and follow the screen commands to turn the ice maker OFF.

Do not install the ice maker tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.

When using any electrical device (such as a power drill) during installation, be sure the device is double insulated or grounded in a manner to prevent

the hazard of electric shock, or is battery powered.

All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

‡&RSSHURU*(6PDUW&RQQHFW™ Refrigerator Tubing kit, 1/4” outer diameter to connect

the refrigerator to the water supply. If using copper, be sure both ends of the tubing are cut square.

To determine how much tubing you need: measure the distance from the water valve

on the back of the refrigerator to the water supply pipe. Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.

GE SmartConnect™ Refrigerator Tubing Kits are available in the following lengths:

6’ (1.8 m) – WX08X10006

15’ (4.6 m) – WX08X10015

25’ (7.6 m) – WX08X10025
