IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
■
■This refrigerator must be properly installed
and located in accordance with the Installation
Instructions before it is used.
■
■Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang
on the shelves in the refrigerator. They could
damage the refrigerator and seriously injure
themselves.
■
■Do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer
compartment when hands are damp or wet. Skin
may stick to these extremely cold surfaces.
■
■Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance.
■
■In refrigerators with automatic icemakers,

located on the bottom of the icemaker. Do
not place fingers or hands on the automatic
icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator
is plugged in.
■
■Keep fingers out of the “pinch point” areas;
clearances between the doors and between
the doors and cabinet are necessarily small.
Be careful closing doors when children are
in the area.
■
■Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and
making repairs.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be
performed by a qualified individual.
■
■Setting either or both controls to

PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE REFRIGERATOR
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems
of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are
still dangerous…even if they will sit for “just a few
days.” If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator,
please follow the instructions below to help prevent
accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator
or Freezer:
■Take off the doors.
■Leave the shelves in place so that children may
not easily climb inside.
Refrigerants
All refrigeration products contain refrigerants,
which under federal law must be removed prior
to product disposal. If you are getting rid of an
old refrigeration product, check with the
company handling the disposal about what
to do.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use
of an extension cord.
However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed (in the United
States) or a CSA-listed (in Canada), 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding
type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.
DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
3
WARNING!
HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For
personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates
with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet
to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard
from this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.
If the outlet is a standard 2-prong outlet, it is
your personal responsibility and obligation to
have it replaced with a properly grounded
3-prong wall outlet.
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its
own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage
rating that matches the rating plate.
This provides the best performance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits which
could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on
the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull
straight out from the outlet.
Repair or replace immediately all power cords that
have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not
use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage
along its length or at either end.
When moving the refrigerator away from the
wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the
power cord.
TurboCool
rapidly cools the refrigerator
compartment in order to more quickly
cool foods. Use
TurboCool
when adding
a large amount of food to the refrigerator
compartment, putting away foods after they
have been sitting out at room temperature
or when putting away warm leftovers. It can
also be used if the refrigerator has been
without power for an extended period.
Once activated, the compressor will turn
on immediately and the fans will cycle on
and off at high speed as needed for eight
hours. The compressor will continue to run
until the refrigerator compartment cools to
approximately 34°F (1°C), then it will cycle on
and off to maintain this setting. After 8 hours,
or if
TurboCool
is pressed again, the refrigerator
compartment will return to the original setting.
How to Use
Press
TurboCool
. The
TurboCool
temperature
display will show

About the temperature controls.
4
The temperature controls are preset in the factory at for the refrigerator compartment37°F
and 0°F for the freezer compartment. Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize to the
preset recommended settings.
The temperature controls can display both the temperature as well as the actualSET
temperature in the refrigerator and freezer. The actual temperature may vary slightly from
the SET temperature based on usage and operating environment.
Setting either or both controls to OFF stops cooling in both the freezer and refrigerator
compartments, but does not shut off electrical power to the refrigerator.
NOTE: The refrigerator is shipped with protective film covering the temperature controls. If
this film was not removed during installation, remove it now.

About the water filter. (on some models)
Water Filter Cartridge
The water filter cartridge is located in the back upper right
corner of the refrigerator compartment.
When to Replace the Filter on Models With a
Replacement Indicator Light
There is a replacement indicator light for the water filter
cartridge on the dispenser. This light will turn orange to tell
you that you need to replace the filter soon.
The filter cartridge should be replaced when the
replacement indicator light turns red or if the flow of water
to the dispenser or icemaker decreases.
When to Replace the Filter on Models Without a
Replacement Indicator Light
The filter cartridge should be replaced every
six months
or earlier if the flow of water to the water dispenser or
icemaker decreases.
Removing the Filter Cartridge
If you are replacing the cartridge, first remove the old one
by slowly turning it to the left.
Do not
pull down on the
cartridge. A small amount of water may drip down.
Installing the Filter Cartridge
If you are replacing a
SmartWater
cartridge with
an adapter, it must be removed before installing the
cartridge. To remove the adapter, turn it to the left
about 1/4 turn.
If you are replacing a
Water by Culligan
cartridge,
leave the adapter in place. This adapter will stay in the
refrigerator when you replace future cartridges.
On models without a replacement indicator light,
apply the month and year sticker to the new cartridge
to remind you to replace the filter in
six months.
Fill the replacement cartridge with water from the tap
to allow for better flow from the dispenser immediately
after installation.
Line up the arrow on the cartridge and the cartridge
holder. Place the top of the new cartridge up inside the
holder.
Do not
push it up into the holder.
Slowly turn it to the right until the filter cartridge stops.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
As you turn the cartridge, it will
automatically raise itself into position. The cartridge will
move about 1/2 turn.
Run water from the dispenser for 3 minutes (about 1-1/2
gallons) to clear the system and prevent sputtering.
Press and hold the
WATER FILTER
pad (on some models)
on the dispenser for 3 seconds.
NOTE:
A newly-installed water filter cartridge may
cause
water to spurt
from the dispenser.
Filter Bypass Plug
You must use the filter bypass plug when a replacement
filter cartridge is not available. The dispenser and the
icemaker will not operate without the filter or filter
bypass plug.
To use the filter bypass plug on
Water by Culligan
models,
you must first remove the filter adapter from the cartridge
holder by turning it to the left.

About the refrigerator doors. ge.com
Refrigerator Doors
The refrigerator doors may feel different
than the ones you are used to. The
special door opening/closing feature
makes sure the doors close all the way
and are securely sealed.
When opening and closing the door you
will notice a
stop
position. If the door is
opened past this
stop
point, the door will
remain open to allow you to load and
unload food more easily. When the door
is only partially open, it will automatically
close.
The resistance you feel at the
stop
position will be reduced as the door
is loaded with food.
When the door is only partially open,
it will automatically close.
Beyond this the door will stop
stay open.
Door Alignment
If doors are uneven, adjust the
refrigerator door.
Using a 7/16 socket wrench, turn″
the door adjusting screw to the right
to raise the door; to the left, to lower
it. (A nylon plug, imbedded in the
threads of the pin, prevents the pin
from turning unless a wrench is
used.)
After one or two turns of the
wrench, open and close the
refrigerator door and check the
alignment at the top of the doors.
To remove the base
grille, open the doors,
remove the screw at
each end of the base
grille and then pull
the grille straight out.
7/16″Socket Wrench
Raise
Support Leg
Before moving the refrigerator, you will
need to screw up the support leg. Once
the unit is relocated, you will need to
screw down the support leg again.
Screw down the support
leg until it touches the

door misalignment.
About crisper removal.
Not all features are on all models.
Crisper Removal
Crispers can easily be removed by pulling
the drawer straight out and lifting the
drawer up and over the
stop
location.
If the door prevents you from taking out
the drawers, first try to remove the door
bins. If this does not offer enough
clearance, the refrigerator will need to
be rolled forward until the door opens
enough to slide the drawers out. In some
cases, when you roll the refrigerator out,
you will need to move the refrigerator
to the left or right as you roll it out.

About the automatic icemaker. ge.com
Automatic Icemaker
The icemaker will produce seven cubes
per cycle—approximately 100–130 cubes
in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer
compartment temperature, room
temperature, number of door openings
and other use conditions.
See below for how to access ice and reach
the power switch on dispenser models.
If the refrigerator is operated before the
water connection is made to the icemaker,
set the power switch in the
OFF
position.
When the refrigerator has been connected
to the water supply, set the power switch to
the
ON
position.
The icemaker will fill with water when it
cools to 15°F (–10°C). A newly installed
refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin
making ice cubes.
You will hear a buzzing sound each time
the icemaker fills with water.
Throw away the first few batches of ice to
allow the water line to clear.
Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep
of the feeler arm.
When the bin fills to the level of the feeler
arm, the icemaker will stop producing
ice. It is normal for several cubes to be
joined together.
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes
will become cloudy, taste stale and shrink.
A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.
Lift the bin, then pull it
forward until the bin stops.

To access ice and reach the
icemaker power switch:
Accessing Ice and Reaching the
Power Switch on Dispenser Models
There are two types of ice storage bins on
dispenser models.
One has a shelf above
the bin, the other does not.
Special note about dispenser models
without a shelf above the ice bin:
■These models have a tilt-out ice bin.
The bin can be tilted out as shown in
the illustrations, and it will hold itself
up while you take ice out or turn the
icemaker power switch on and off.
Be sure to put the bin back in place
before closing the door.
■To restore your ice level from an empty
bucket stage, the following steps are
recommended:
12 hours after the first batch of ice
has fallen into the bin, dispense
3 to 4 cubes.
After an additional 6 hours, dispense
3 to 4 cubes again.
These steps will restore your ice level
in the shortest amount of time.
To access ice, pull the bin forward.
To reach the power switch, pull the
shelf straight out. Always be sure to
replace the shelf.

About the ice and water dispenser. (on some models)
To Use the Dispenser
Select
CUBED ICE , CRUSHED ICE
or
WATER .
Press the glass gently against the top of the
dispenser cradle.
The spill shelf is not self-draining. To
reduce water spotting, the shelf and its
grille should be cleaned regularly.
If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator is
first installed, there may be air in the water line
system. Press the dispenser arm for at least two
minutes to remove trapped air from the water
line and to fill the water system. To flush out
impurities in the water line, throw away the first
six glassfuls of water.
CAUTION: Never put fingers or any other
objects into the ice crusher discharge opening.
Locking the Dispenser
Press the
LOCK
pad for
3 seconds to lock the
dispenser and control
panel. To unlock, press
and hold the pad again
for 3 seconds.
Dispenser Light
This pad turns the
night
light
in the dispenser on
and off. The light also
comes on when the
dispenser cradle is
pressed. If this light
burns out, it should be
replaced with a 6 watt
12V maximum bulb.
Quick Ice (on some models)
When you need ice
in a hurry, press this
pad to speed up ice
production. This will
increase ice production
for the following
48 hours or until you
press the pad again.
Door Alarm (on some models)
To set the alarm,

Important Facts About Your Dispenser
■Do not add ice from trays or bags to
the storage drawer. It may not crush or
dispense well.
■Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use of
narrow glasses. Backed-up ice can jam the
chute or cause the door in the chute to
freeze shut. If ice is blocking the chute,
poke it through with a wooden spoon.
■Beverages and foods should not be
quick-chilled in the ice storage drawer.
Cans, bottles or food packages in the
storage drawer may cause the icemaker
or auger to jam.
■To keep dispensed ice from missing
the glass, put the glass close to, but not
touching, the dispenser opening.
■Some crushed ice may be dispensed even
though you selected
CUBED ICE.
This
happens occasionally when a few cubes
accidentally get directed to the crusher.
■After crushed ice is dispensed, some
water may drip from the chute.
■Sometimes a small mound of snow will
form on the door in the ice chute. This
condition is normal and usually occurs
when you have dispensed crushed ice
repeatedly. The snow will eventually
evaporate.

INSTALLING THE REFRIGERATOR
REFRIGERATOR LOCATION
• Do not install the refrigerator where the
temperature will go below 60°F (16°C)
because it will not run often enough to
maintain proper temperatures.
• Do not install the refrigerator where the
temperature will go above 100°F (37°C)
because it will not perform properly.
• Install it on a floor strong enough to
support it fully loaded.
CLEARANCES
Allow the following clearances for ease
of installation, proper air circulation and
plumbing and electrical connections:
Sides 1/8″ (4 mm)
Top 1″ (25 mm)
Back 1″ (25 mm)
Installation Instructions
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 ™Refrigerator
Tubing Kit, you will need an additional
tube (WX08X10002) 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 ™
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 ™
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.

LEVEL THE REFRIGERATOR
The refrigerator can be leveled by
adjusting the rollers located near the
bottom hinges.
Rollers have three purposes:
• Rollers adjust so the door closes easily
when opened about halfway. (Raise the
front about 5/8 [16 mm] from the floor.)″
• Rollers adjust so the refrigerator is
firmly positioned on the floor and does
not wobble.
• Rollers allow you to move the
refrigerator away from the wall for
cleaning.
To adjust the rollers:
• Turn the roller

INSTALLING THE WATER LINE (ICEMAKER & DISPENSER MODELS)
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 (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 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.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Installation Instructions
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
• Copper or GE SmartConnect ™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. 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 SmartConnect ™Refrigerator 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.
NOTE: The only GE approved plastic tubing
is that supplied in GE SmartConnect ™
Refrigerator Tubing kits. Do not use any
other plastic water supply line because the
line is under pressure at all times. Certain
types of plastic will crack or rupture with age
and cause water damage to your home.
• A GE water supply kit (containing tubing,
shutoff valve and fittings listed below) is
available at extra cost from your dealer or
from Parts and Accessories, 800.626.2002
(in Canada 1.800.661.1616).
• A cold water supply. The water pressure must
be between 20 and 120 p.s.i. (1.4–8.1 bar).
• Power drill.
•1/2″ or adjustable wrench.
• Straight and Phillips blade screwdriver.
• Two 1/4″ outer diameter compression nuts
and 2 ferrules (sleeves)—to connect the
copper tubing to the shutoff valve and the
refrigerator water valve.
OR
• If you are using a GE SmartConnect ™
Refrigerator Tubing kit, the necessary
fittings are preassembled to the tubing.
• If your existing copper water line has a
flared fitting at the end, you will need an
adapter (available at plumbing supply
stores) to connect the water line to the
refrigerator OR you can cut off the flared
fitting with a tube cutter and then use a
compression fitting. Do not cut formed end
from GE SmartConnect ™Refrigerator tubing.
• Shutoff valve to connect to the cold water
line. The shutoff valve should have a water
inlet with a minimum inside diameter of
5/32″ at the point of connection to the COLD
WATER LINE. Saddle-type shutoff valves are
included in many water supply kits. Before
purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve
complies with your local plumbing codes.

Installation Instructions
SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER
SUPPLY
Turn on the nearest faucet long enough
to clear the line of water.
Install the shutoff valve on the nearest
frequently used drinking water line.
1
Choose a location for the valve that is
easily accessible. It is best to connect into
the side of a vertical water pipe. When it is
necessary to connect into a horizontal
water pipe, make the connection to the
top or side, rather than at the bottom,
to avoid drawing off any sediment from
the water pipe.
CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION
2
DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE
3
Drill a 1/4″ hole in the water pipe (even if
using a self-piercing valve), using a sharp
bit. Remove any burrs resulting from
drilling the hole in the pipe.
Take care not to allow water to drain into
the drill.
Failure to drill a 1/4″ hole may result in
reduced ice production or smaller cubes.

Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips Operating Instructions Safety InstructionsInstallation Instructions
Normal operating sounds.
Newer refrigerators sound different from older refrigerators.
Modern refrigerators have more features and use newer
technology.
HUMMM...
WHOOSH...
■The new high efficiency compressor may run faster
and longer than your old refrigerator and you may
hear a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound while
it is operating.
■Sometimes the refrigerator runs for an extended period,
especially when the doors are opened frequently. This
means that the
Frost Guard
™
feature is working to
prevent freezer burn and improve food preservation.
■You may hear a whooshing sound when the doors close.
This is due to pressure equalizing within the refrigerator.
■You may hear the fans spinning at high speeds.
This happens when the refrigerator is first plugged
in, when the doors are opened frequently or when
a large amount of food is added to the refrigerator
or freezer compartments. The fans are helping to
maintain the correct temperatures.
■If either door is open for over 3 minutes, you may
hear the fans come on in order to cool the light
bulbs.
■The fans change speeds in order to provide optimal
cooling and energy savings.
■You may hear the fans running after selecting one of
the
CustomCool
™
settings.
CLICKS, POPS,
CRACKS and CHIRPS
■You may hear cracking or popping sounds when the
refrigerator is first plugged in. This happens as the
refrigerator cools to the correct temperature.
■Electronic dampers click open and closed to provide
optimal cooling and energy savings.
■The compressor may cause a clicking or chirping
sound when attempting to restart (this could take
up to 5 minutes).
■The electronic control board may cause a clicking
sound when relays activate to control refrigerator
components.
■Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during
and after defrost can cause a cracking or popping
sound.
■On models with an icemaker, after an icemaking
cycle, you may hear the ice cubes dropping into
the ice bucket.
WATER SOUNDS
■The flow of refrigerant through the freezer cooling
coils may make a gurgling noise like boiling water.
■Water dropping on the defrost heater can cause a
sizzling, popping or buzzing sound during the
defrost cycle.
■A water dripping noise may occur during the defrost
cycle as ice melts from the evaporator and flows into
the drain pan.
■Closing the door may cause a gurgling sound due to
pressure equalization.
Do you hear what I hear? These sounds are normal.
