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!
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.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

About ClimateKeeper2.™
How it Works
The
ClimateKeeper2
™
is the industry’s most
advanced refrigeration system, delivering
optimum temperature and humidity
performance to keep food garden fresh
longer and reduce freezer burn, while
maintaining E star-level efficiency.
The
ClimateKeeper2
system features
two evaporators—one for the refrigerator
and one for the freezer.
This provides two separate cooling systems,
and separates the airflow between the fresh
food and freezer compartments during
normal cooling operations.*
This ensures that the humidity levels in the
fresh food compartment are significantly
higher than in a conventional system,**
allowing fresh produce and other unsealed
foods to retain their moisture content and
freshness longer. Moisture sensitive foods
such as fresh fruit, salads, rice, etc., can now
be stored on open shelves without excessive
moisture loss. Due to the higher humidity
in the refrigerator, you may on occasion
experience fog or small amounts of
moisture in the refrigerator compartment.
This is normal and may come and go as
different food loads and environmental
conditions change. Wipe dry with a paper
towel if desired.
The separate airflow system minimizes
the mixing of air between the two
compartments, which reduces fresh food
odor transfer to improve the taste of ice.
The
ClimateKeeper2
system also reduces
the number of defrosting cycles in the
freezer evaporator, thereby reducing
freezer burn.
*Freezer air is used in the CustomCool feature.
**Testing shows a higher level of humidity in
the Fresh Food section in ClimateKeeper2
refrigerators versus conventional units.

About the refrigerator doors.
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 stay open.stop
Door Alignment
If doors are uneven, adjust the refrigerator
door.
Using a 7/16″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.)

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.
If the refrigerator is operated before the
water connection is made to the icemaker,
set the power switch in the
O (off)
position.
When the refrigerator has been connected
to the water supply, set the power switch to
the
l (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.
Special note about dispenser models:
■Dispenser 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

When you need to speed up ice production, use
the
Quick Ice
feature. While this feature is turned
on, the freezer fan runs continuously for 48 hours,
or until the feature is turned OFF. During this
period, ice production will increase up to 40%.
Models with the integrated ice feature system
require at FIRST USE at least half an 8 oz. glass
of ice to be dispensed every 6 to 12 hours. This
will help the icemaker fill the bucket properly
so that dispensing is better.

Cleaning the Outside
The dispenser drip area,
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
. Before cleaning, lock
the dispenser by pressing and holding the
LOCK
pad for 3 seconds. Clean with warm
water and baking soda solution—about a
tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to a
quart (1 liter) 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.
The stainless steel panels and door handles
(on some models) can be cleaned with
a commercially available stainless steel
cleaner. A spray-on stainless steel cleaner
works best.
Do not use appliance wax or polish
on the stainless steel.
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 fresh food 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 liter) of water. This both
cleans and neutralizes odors. Rinse and
wipe dry.
Use of any cleaning solution other than that
which is recommended, especially those that
contain petroleum distillates, can crack or
damage the interior of the refrigerator.
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.
The chill/thaw tray is dishwasher safe.

Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.
About the ice and water dispenser. (on some models)
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
.
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.
17
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 liter) 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.
If the temperature can drop below freezing,
have a qualified servicer drain the water
supply system to prevent serious property
damage due to flooding.
ge.com
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.
Preparing for Vacation
Preparing to Move
Secure all loose items such as shelves and
drawers by taping them securely in place
to prevent damage.
When using a hand truck to move the
refrigerator, do not rest the front or back
of the refrigerator against the hand truck.
This could damage the refrigerator. Handle
only from the sides of the refrigerator.
Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright
position during moving.

Trim kits and decorator panels.
Read these instructions completely and carefully.
Before You Begin
Some models are equipped with trim kits that allow you to install door panels. You can order
pre-cut black, white, bisque or stainless steel decorator panels from GE Parts and Accessories,
800.626.2002, or you can add wood panels to match your kitchen cabinets.
Panels less than 1/4
″
(6 mm) thick
When installing wood panels less than 1/4 (6 mm) thick, you need to create a filler panel, such as 1/8″ ″
cardboard, that will fit between the face of the door and the wood panel. If you are installing the pre-cut
decorator panels, pre-cut filler panels are included in the kit. The combined thickness of the decorator
or wood panel and the filler panel should be 1/4″ (6 mm).

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.

automatically. It will take 2–3 days to
fill the ice bin.
NOTE:
In lower water pressure conditions, the
water valve may turn on up to 3 times
to deliver enough water to the icemaker.

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 (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.
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. Be sure there is sufficient extra
tubing to allow the refrigerator to move out
from the wall after installation.
GE SmartConnect™Refrigerator Tubing Kits
are available in the following lengths:
6′(1.8 m) – WX08X10006
15′(4.6 m) – WX08X10015
25′(7.6 m) – WX08X10025
32
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 1.888.261.3055).
•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
33
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.

Normal operating sounds. ge.com
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
QuickFreeze
™
or 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.

and About the ice and water dispenser
sections.
