STEP 2 INSTALL WATER LINE
• A cold water supply is required for automatic
icemaker operation. The water pressure must be
between 40 and 120 p.s.i.
• Route 1/4
″ OD copper or GE SmartConnect
™ plastic
tubing between house cold water line and the water
connection location.
• Tubing should be long enough to extend to the front of
the refrigerator. Allow enough tubing to accommodate
bend leading into the water line connection.
NOTE: The only GE-approved plastic tubing is supplied
in the GE SmartConnect
™ Refrigerator Tubing kits. Do not
use any other plastic water supply line because the line
is under pressure at all times. Other types of plastic may
crack or rupture with age and cause water damage to
your home.
GE SmartConnect ™ Refrigerator Tubing Kits are available
in the following lengths:
2
′ (.6 m) WX08X10002
6
′ (1.8 m) WX08X10006
15 ′ (4.6 m) WX08X10015
25
′ (7.6 m) WX08X10025
Shut off the main water supply.
Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear the line
of water.
• Install a shut-off valve between the icemaker water
valve and cold water pipe in a basement or cabinet.
The shut-off valve should be located where it will be
easily accessible.
