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 forjust 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owners 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.
Setting the freezer control to the
O (off)
position
does not remove power to the light circuit.
Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed
completely.
In refrigerators with automatic icemakers,
avoid contact with the moving parts of the
ejector mechanism, or with the heating element
that releases the cubes. 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.

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 mustbe 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.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
INSURE PROPER GROUND
EXISTS BEFORE USE
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.

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

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.

Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips Installation Instructions Safety InstructionsOperating Instructions
About the automatic icemaker.
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.
NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average water pressure,
you may hear the icemaker cycle multiple times when
making one batch of ice.
Icemaker Accessory Kit
If your refrigerator did not come already
equipped with an automatic icemaker, an
icemaker accessory kit is available at extra cost.
Check the back of the refrigerator for the specific
icemaker kit needed for your model.
Select or
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.
Locking the Dispenser (on some models)
Press the
LOCK CONTROL
pad
for 3 seconds to lock the
dispenser and control panel.
To unlock, press and hold the
pad again for 3 seconds.

About the ice and water dispenser. (On some models.)
To Use the Dispenser
Important Facts About Your Dispenser
Do not add ice from trays or bags to the storage bin. 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 bin. Cans, bottles or food packages in the
storage bin 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.
This happens occasionally when a few
cubes have been left in 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.
The first glass of water dispensed may be warmer than
the following ones. This is normal.
Dispensed water is not ice cold. For colder water, simply
add crushed ice or cubes before dispensing water.
Ice Storage Drawer on Dispenser Models
To remove:
Set the icemaker power switch to the
O (off)
position.
Pull the drawer straight out and then lift past the
stop
position.
To replace:
When replacing the drawer, make sure to push it
firmly into place. If it does not go all the way back,
remove it and rotate the drive mechanism 1/4 turn.
Then push the drawer back again.

INSTALLING THE WATER LINE
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 refrigerators 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.
All installations must be in accordance with local
plumbing code requirements.
WARNING Connect to potable water
supply only.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
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.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
NOTE: The only GE approved plastic tubing is that
supplied in GE SmartConnectRefrigerator 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.
A cold water supply. The water pressure must be
between 20 and 120 p.s.i. (1.4–8.2 bar) on models
without a water filter and between 40 and 120 p.s.i.
(2.8–8.2 bar) on models with a water filter.
Power drill.
1/2or adjustable wrench.
Straight and Phillips blade screwdriver.
Two 1/4outer 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. Install the
shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used drinking
water line.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED (CONT.)
Installation Instructions
12
SHUT OFF MAIN WATER SUPPLY
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.
Drill a 1/4hole 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 1/4hole may result in reduced
ice production or smaller cubes.
DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE
2
Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with
the pipe clamp.
Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer
begins to swell.
NOTE: Do not overtighten or you may crush the
tubing.
NOTE: Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing
Codes 248CMR shall be adhered to. Saddle valves
are illegal and use is not permitted in Massachusetts.
Consult with your licensed plumber.

Route the tubing between the cold water line and
the refrigerator.
Route the tubing through a hole drilled in the wall
or floor (behind the refrigerator or adjacent base
cabinet) as close to the wall as possible.
NOTE: 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
.
ROUTE THE TUBING
4
Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for
copper tubing onto the end of the tubing and
connect it to the shutoff valve.
Make sure the tubing is fully inserted into the valve.
Tighten the compression nut securely.
For plastic tubing from a GE SmartConnect™
Refrigerator Tubing kit, insert the molded end
of the tubing into the shutoff valve and tighten
compression nut until it is hand tight, then tighten
one additional turn with a wrench. Overtightening
may cause leaks.
CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE
VALVE
5
Turn the main water supply on and flush out the
tubing until the water is clear.
FLUSH OUT THE TUBING

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 refrigerators water valve. Install it in the
water line near the refrigerator. If using a GE
SmartConnect™ Refrigerator Tubing kit, you
will need an additional tube (WX08X10002)
to connect the filter. Do not cut plastic tube
to install filter.

Installation Instructions
13
Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve)
onto the end of the tubing as shown. On a GE
SmartConnectRefrigerator Tubing kit, the nuts
are already assembled to the tubing.
Insert the end of the tubing into the refrigerator
connection as far as possible. While holding the
tubing, tighten the fitting.
For plastic tubing from a GE SmartConnect
Refrigerator Tubing kit, insert the molded end of
the tubing into the refrigerator connection and
tighten the 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 as
shown to keep it in position. You may need to pry
open the clamp.
One of the illustrations below will look like the
connection on your refrigerator.
On models using the refrigeration connection at
the water valve, remove the plastic flexible cap.

Before you call for service
Newer refrigerators sound different from older refrigerators. Modern refrigerators have
more features and use newer technology.
Do you hear what I hear? These sounds are normal.
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.
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.
