We recommend installing a water filter 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 SmartConnectRefrigerator Tubing kit, you

will need an additional tube (WX08X10002) to

connect the filter. Do not cut plastic tube to

install filter.

Remove the screws holding the right side of the access cover. Fold back the cover.

(refrigerator connection).

Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the end of the tubing as shown. On GE SmartConnectRefrigerator Tubing kit, the nuts are already assembled to the tubing.

Insert the end of the tubing into the water valve connection as far as possible. While holding the tubing, tighten the fitting.

For plastic tubing from a GE SmartConnectRefrigerator Tubing kit, insert the molded end of the tubing into the water valve connection and tighten 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 a vertical position. You may need to pry open the clamp.
