Installation Instructions

INSTALLING THE WATER LINE (ICEMAKER & DISPENSER MODELS)

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 SmartConnectRefrigerator Tubing (WX08X10002, 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 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 filter can result in hollow ice cubes and slower water flow from the water dispenser.

This water line installation is not warranted by the refrigerator or icemaker 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. If you use your refrigerator before connecting the water line, make sure the icemaker power switch is in the O (off) position.

Do not install the icemaker 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

Copper or GE SmartConnectRefrigerator Tubing kit, 1/4outer 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. Then add 8(2.4 m). Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing (about 8[2.4 m] coiled into 3 turns of about 10[25 cm] diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.

GE SmartConnectRefrigerator Tubing Kits are available in the following lengths:

2(0.6 m) – WX08X10002

6(1.8 m) – WX08X10006

15(4.6 m) – WX08X10015

25(7.6 m) – WX08X10025

Be sure that the kit you select allows at least 8(2.4 m) as described above.

MODELS 23 AND 25 specifications

General Electric (GE) has long been a prominent name in the industrial world, particularly in the aviation and power generation sectors. Among its notable innovations are the GE Models 23 and 25, which have made significant contributions to engineering and technology.

The GE Model 23, launched in the early 1960s, was primarily designed for use in the aviation industry. This model is recognized for its robust design and reliable performance. Engineered with advanced materials for its time, the Model 23 utilized high-strength steel and lightweight aluminum alloys to reduce its overall weight while maintaining structural integrity. This focus on weight reduction allowed for improved fuel efficiency in aircraft utilizing this model.

One of the standout features of the GE Model 23 is its advanced turbofan engine technology, which is characterized by its quiet operation and high thrust capabilities. The model was notable for its bypass ratio, allowing it to deliver optimal performance with lower fuel consumption. This efficiency made it a popular choice among commercial airlines, as it contributed to lower operational costs.

The GE Model 25 followed shortly after and is often regarded as a more advanced iteration of the Model 23. Incorporating lessons learned from its predecessor, the Model 25 features improvements in aerodynamics and thermal efficiency. One of its key characteristics is its high bypass turbofan design, which enhances thrust while reducing noise levels even further.

The Model 25 also integrates cutting-edge digital engine control systems, allowing for precise management of engine performance. This technology not only optimizes fuel efficiency but also enhances the overall reliability of the engine under various operating conditions. Additionally, the use of composite materials in the fan blades of the Model 25 reduces weight and further improves efficiency.

Both models are equipped with advanced diagnostics and monitoring features, enabling engineers to assess engine health in real-time and preemptively address any potential issues. This has paved the way for improved maintenance routines and reduced downtime in aircraft operations.

In summary, the GE Models 23 and 25 epitomize GE's commitment to innovation, performance, and efficiency. With features that have significantly influenced the aviation industry, they have set a high standard for future developments in engine technology. Their advanced design and focus on sustainability continue to inspire new generations of engineers and manufacturers around the globe.
