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 (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 (RO) 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 water filter can result in
hollow ice cubes.
This water line installation is not warranted
by the refrigerator or ice maker 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.
For PFE27 and PYE23K Models: If the refrigerator is
operated before the water connection is made to
the ice maker, press and hold both the CRUSHED
and CUBED buttons together for 3 seconds to
disengage the ice maker. When the refrigerator has
been connected to the water supply, press and hold
both the CRUSHED and CUBED buttons together for
3 seconds to re-engage the ice maker.
For Non-LCD Models: If the refrigerator is operated
before the water connection is made to the ice
maker, press and release the ICE MAKER button on
the control panel to disengage the ice maker. When
the refrigerator has been connected to the water
supply, press and release the ICE MAKER button on
the control panel to re-engage the ice maker.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

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
For PFE29 and PYE23P Models: If the refrigerator is
operated before the water connection is made to
the ice maker, see ICE MAKER under SETTINGS menu
of the LCD Operations section and follow the screen
commands to turn the ice maker OFF.
Do not install the ice maker 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.
