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.

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.
■ ■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

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.

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

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.

Care and cleaning of the refrigerator. ge.com
Cleaning the Outside
The dispenser drip area,
(on some models)
beneath the grille, should be wiped dry. Water
left in this area may leave deposits. Remove
the deposits by adding undiluted vinegar to
the well. Soak until the deposits disappear
or become loose enough to rinse away.
The dispenser cradle
(on some models).
Before cleaning, lock the dispenser by
pressing and holding the
LOCK CONTROL
pad for 3 seconds. Clean with warm water
and baking soda solution—about a
tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to a
quart (1 l) of water. Rinse thoroughly
and wipe dry.
The door handles and trim.
Clean with a
cloth dampened with soapy water. Dry
with a soft cloth.
Keep the outside clean.
Wipe with a clean
cloth lightly dampened with kitchen
appliance wax or mild liquid dish detergent.
Dry and polish with a clean, soft cloth.
Do not wipe the refrigerator with a soiled dish
cloth or wet towel. These may leave a residue
that can erode the paint. Do not use scouring
pads, powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners
containing bleach because these products can
scratch and weaken the paint finish.
Cleaning the Inside
To help prevent odors,
leave an open box of
baking soda in the refrigerator and freezer
compartments.
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning.
If this
is not practical, wring excess moisture out
of sponge or cloth when cleaning around
switches, lights or controls.
Use warm water and baking soda solution—
about a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda
to a quart (1 l) of water. This both cleans
and neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe dry.
After cleaning the door gaskets, apply a
thin layer of petroleum jelly to the door
gaskets at the hinge side. This helps keep
the gaskets from sticking and bending out
of shape.
Drain opening in freezer compartment.
During yearly cleaning, remove bottom
freezer pan and flush a solution of baking
soda—1 teaspoon (5 ml) and 2 cups (500
ml) of hot (not boiling) water— through
the drain line with the help of a meat
baster. This will help eliminate odor and
reduce the likelihood of a clogged drain
line. If drain becomes clogged, use a meat
baster and baking soda solution to force the
clog through the drain line.
Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves with hot water
because the extreme temperature difference may
cause them to break. Handle glass shelves carefully.
Bumping tempered glass can cause it to shatter.
Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in the
dishwasher.
For long vacations or absences, remove food and unplug
the refrigerator. Clean the interior with a baking soda
solution of one tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to one
quart (1 l) of water. Leave the doors open.
Set the icemaker power switch to the
O (off)
position and
shut off the water supply to the refrigerator.
Behind the Refrigerator
Be careful when moving the refrigerator away from the
wall. All types of floor coverings can be damaged,
particularly cushioned coverings and those with embossed
surfaces.
Pull the refrigerator straight out and return it to position by
pushing it straight in. Moving the refrigerator in a side
direction may result in damage to the floor covering or
refrigerator.
When pushing the refrigerator back, make sure you don’t roll over
the power cord or icemaker supply line (on some models).
Preparing for Vacation
Preparing to Move
Secure all loose items such as grille, shelves and drawers by taping them securely in place to prevent damage.
Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright position during moving.
Turning the control to the position does not remove power to the light circuit.0 (off)
Replacing the Light Bulbs
Unplug the refrigerator.
Remove the shelf just below the light shield.
Replace with an appliance bulb of the same
or lower wattage.
Reinstall the shelf and plug the refrigerator
back in. 9
Installation Instructions

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 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
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 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.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
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.
•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.
•1/2″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. Install the
shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used drinking
water line.

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 1/4″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.
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

NOTE: Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing

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 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.

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.
