Dispenser (CFE & CYE Models Only)

WARNING: LACERATION HAZARD

  • Never put fingers or any other object into ice crusher discharge opening. Doing so can result in contacting the ice crushing blades and lead to serious injury or amputation
  • Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice. A delicate glass may break and result in personal injury.

If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator is first installed, there may be air in the water line system. Press the dispenser paddle for at least five minutes to remove trapped air from the water line and to fill the water system. To flush out impurities in the water line, throw away the first six full glasses of water.

To remove Dispenser Tray

  • Pull Dispenser Tray out until it stops.
  • Locate tab in the center on the bottom and push up.
  • Pull Dispenser Tray assembly out.
  • Lift metal Dispenser Tray out at center notch to clean.

To reinstall Dispenser Tray

  • Place the Dispenser Tray cover on top of catch tray and position under the two plastic retainers on either side.
  • Center Dispenser tray, and align with center guides.
  • Push in until is firmly in place

Important Facts About Your Dispenser

  • Do not add ice from trays or bags to the door ice maker bucket. It may not crush or dispense.
  • 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 remove the ice bucket, poke it through with a wooden spoon.
  • Beverages and foods should not be quick-chilled in the door ice maker bin. Cans, bottles or food packages in the storage drawer may cause the ice maker or auger to jam.
  • To keep dispensed ice from missing the glass, put the glass close to, but not touching, the dispenser opening. Ŷ Some crushed ice may be dispensed even though you selected CUBED ICE. 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.

To Use the Internal Water Dispenser (CWE Models Only)

The water dispenser is located on the left wall inside the refrigerator compartment.

To dispense water:

  1. Hold the glass against the recess.
  2. Push the water dispenser button.
  3. Hold the glass underneath the dispenser for 2–3 seconds after releasing the dispenser button. Water may continue to dispense after the button is released.

If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator is first installed, there may be air in the water line system. Press the dispenser button for at least 5 minutes to remove trapped air from the water line and to fill the water system. During this process, the dispenser noise may be loud as the air is purged from the water line system. To flush out impurities in the water line, throw away the first 6 glassfuls of water.

NOTE: To avoid water deposits, the dispenser should be cleaned periodically by wiping with a clean cloth or sponge.

Automatic Ice Maker

A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice

WARNING Connect to potable water supply only. A cold water supply is required for automatic icemaker operation. The water pressure must be between 40 and 120 psi (275-827 kilopascals)

Automatic Ice maker*

The ice maker 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.

The ice maker 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.

If the refrigerator is operated before the water line connection is made to the unit or if the water supply to an operating refrigerator is turned off, make sure that the ice maker is turned off. Once the water has been connected to the refrigerator, the ice maker may be turned on. See the table below for details.

You may hear a buzzing sound each time the ice maker 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 ice maker 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. NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average water pressure, you may hear the ice maker cycle multiple times when making one batch of ice. CAUTION To minimize the risk of personal injury, avoid contact with the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating element that releases the cubes.

10. CONNECTING THE REFRIGERATOR TO THE HOUSE WATER LINE

A cold water supply is required for automatic ice maker 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 SmartConnect™ Refrigerator Tubing Kit, you will need an additional tube (WX08X10002) to connect the filter. Do not cut plastic tube to install filter.
  • Before connecting the water line to the house, purge the house line for at least 2 minutes.

A 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 SmartConnect™ tubing, the nuts are already assembled to the tubing.

WARNING ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD

Attach tubing clamp using existing hole only. DO NOT drill into the refrigerator.

B 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 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. Over tightening may cause leaks.

C Fasten the tubing into the clamp provided to hold it in position. You may need to pry open the clamp

WARNING

Connect to potable water supply only. A cold water supply is required for automatic icemaker operation. The water pressure must be between 40 and 120 psi (275-827 kilopascals)

11. TURN ON THE WATER SUPPLY

Turn the water on at the shutoff valve (house water supply) and check for any leaks

12. PLUG IN THE REFRIGERATOR

See the grounding information attached to the power cord.

13. LEVEL THE REFRIGERATOR

The leveling legs have 2 purposes:

  1. Leveling legs adjust so the refrigerator is firmly positioned on the floor and does not wobble.
  2. Leveling legs serve as a stabilizing brake to hold the refrigerator securely in position during operation and cleaning. The leveling legs also prevent the refrigerator from tipping.

A Turn the leveling legs clockwise to raise the refrigerator, counterclockwise to lower it

NOTICE: To avoid possible property damage, the leveling legs must be firmly touching the floor

. LEVEL THE REFRIGERATOR DOORS

Remember a level refrigerator is necessary for getting the doors perfectly even. If you need help, review the previous section on leveling the refrigerator

A If you open the freezer door, you can see the center hinge.

B Insert 1/4" Allen wrench into the shaft of the cencenter hinge.

C Adjust the height by turning clockwise or counterclockwise. When you turn counterclockwise, the door will move up

INSTALLING THE WATER LINE

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Recommended copper water supply kits are WX8X2, WX8X3 or WX8X4, depending on the amount of tubing you need. Approved plastic water supply lines are SmartConnect™ Refrigerator Tubing (WX08X10006, WX08X10015 and WX08X10025).

When connecting your refrigerator to a Reverse Osmosis Water System, the only approved installation is with a 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 (RO) AND the refrigerator also has a water filter, use the refrigerator's water filtration cartridge in conjunction with an RO water filter can result in hollow ice cubes. Some models do not come equipped with the filter bypass plug. To obtain a free bypass plug, visit cafeappliances.com/service. In Canads, visit cafeappliances.ca/service.

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 LCD 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.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

• Copper or 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. SmartConnect™ Refrigerator Tubing Kits are available in the following lengths:

8’ (2.4 m) – WX08X10006

15’ (4.6 m) – WX08X10015

25’ (7.6 m) – WX08X10025

WARNING

Connect to potable water supply only. A cold water supply is required for automatic icemaker operation. The water pressure must be between 40 and 120 psi (275-827 kilopascals)

NOTE: The only GE Appliances, a Haier company, approved plastic tubing is that supplied in 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 water supply kit (containing tubing, shutoff valve and fittings listed below) is available at extra cost from your dealer or from cafeappliances.com/ parts. In Canada, visit cafeappliances.ca/parts.
  • 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 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 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.

1. SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY

Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear the line of water

2. CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION

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

3. DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE

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.

4. FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE

Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe clamp.

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.

5 TIGHTEN THE PIPE CLAMP

Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer begins to swell.

NOTE: Do not over tighten or you may crush the tubing.

6 ROUTE THE TUBING

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.

7 CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE VALVE

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 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. Over tightening may cause leaks.

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

8 FLUSH OUT THE TUBING

Turn the main water supply on and flush out the tubing until the water is clear. Shut the water off at the water valve after about one quart (1 liter), or 2 minutes, of water has been flushed through the tubing.

To complete the installation of the refrigerator, go back to Step 11 in Installing the Refrigerator.

Truth or Myth

The refrigerator water filter may require replacement prior to six months of use

  • TRUE
    • The water filter indicator will indicate the need to replace the water filter every six months or 170 gallons (643.52 liters) of water dispensed (select models only). Water quality varies from city to city. If water flow from the dispenser slows, or ice production decreases, the water filter should be replaced, even though the filter indicator may not indicate the need for replacement.

The automatic ice maker in my refrigerator will produce ice when the refrigerator is plugged in to a power receptacle.

  • MYTH
    • The refrigerator must be connected to water, and the ice maker must be turned on. Make sure the ice maker is turned on, only after the water line is connected and water is turned on. The ice maker can be turned on/off from the controls and ensure the ice maker is on, as indicated on the refrigerator control panel. See Automatic Ice Maker section.

After the refrigerator has been plugged in and connected to water, I will immediately have unlimited chilled water available from the water dispenser.

  • MYTH
    • The water dispenser tank located inside the refrigerator stores water for dispensing. The water in this tank requires 24 hours to chill after installation. High usage conditions will not allow time for the water to chill.

After water dispenses, a few drops of water are normal.

  • TRUE
    • A few drops of water may fall from the dispenser, after the dispenser paddle has been released. To minimize the drops, remove the glass slowly from the dispenser.

I will never see frost inside the freezer compartment.

  • MYTH
    • Frost inside the freezer typically indicates that the door is not properly sealed, or has been left open. If frost is found, clear the frost using a plastic spatula and towel, then check to ensure that no food packages or containers are preventing the freezer door from closing. Check the refrigerator control panel to ensure the door alarm is on.

When the refrigerator is installed, or after replacing the water filter, I must dispense water for five minutes.

  • TRUE
    • A newly installed refrigerator or water filter contains air in the water lines. Press the dispenser paddle and dispense cold water for at least 5 minutes to remove air from the water line, and flush the filter.

To fill the ice bucket to the maximum capacity, I should dispense 12 and 18 hours after installation.

  • TRUE
    • Dispensing 3-4 cubes 12 hours and 18 hours after installation, allows ice to disperse within the ice bucket, which in turns calls on the ice maker to produce additional ice. Normal ice production = 100 cubes in 24 hours.

I can use the water filter bypass plug to determine if the filter requires replacement.

  • TRUE
    • Decrease in flow from the water dispenser, or decreased ice production, may indicate the need to replace the water filter. Install the water filter bypass plug (provided with the refrigerator on some models*), and check flow from the dispenser. If water flow returns to normal with the bypass plug in place, replace the water filter.

The top of the refrigerator doors will always be aligned.

  • MYTH
    • Several things can affect the fresh food door alignment, including the floor the refrigerator is installed on and loading of doors. If the top of the fresh food doors are not aligned, use 1/4" allen wrench to adjust the right/left hand door. The adjustment screw is located on the bottom right or left hand side of the door; open the freezer door to access the screw.

Refrigerator door handles can be easily tightened.

  • TRUE
    • If door handles are loose or have a gap, the handle can be adjusted using a 1/8" allen wrench, on set screws located on the ends of the handles.

There may be odor and taste problems with your ice.

  • TRUE
    • After starting the ice maker throw away 24 hours of ice production to avoid odor and taste problems.

I can make fine adjustments to the fresh food doors to align them.

  • TRUE
    • If the fresh food doors are not aligned, use a 1/4" Allen wrench to adjust the right hand door. The adjustment screw is located on the bottom of the right/left door. Open the freezer door to access.

Door handles should always be removed for installation.

  • MYTH
    • Check chart on reverse side of this instruction. If the doors must be removed do not remove the handles, or if the refrigerator will fit easily through the passage way opening. Adjust handles that are loose or have a gap, by adjusting 1/8" set screws on either end of handles.

#1 What is the warranty for parts and accessories?
All parts and accessories have a limited one-year warranty, with the exception of water filters, which have a 30-day warranty. If your part fails because of a manufacturing defect within one year from the date of original purchase, we will provide a new or, at our option, rebuilt part without charge. Return the defective part to the vendor from whom it was purchased with a copy of the "proof of purchase." If the part is defective it will be exchanged.
This warranty does not cover parts which are improperly installed, damaged, abused or used for other than the intended purpose. It does not include cost of returning the part to the vendor from which it was purchased, labor to remove, install or diagnose the failure, parts used in commercial applications, incidental or consequential damage caused by possible defects with the parts.
EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES - Your sole and exclusive remedy is part exchange as provided in this Limited Warranty. Any implied warranties, including the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, are limited to one year or the shortest period allowed by law.

#2 Where should returned, damaged, or unneeded parts and accessories be shipped?
In order to return damaged or unneeded parts, you need to complete the online returns process and get a Return Materials Authorization (RMA) number. Through this process, you will be given instructions on how to return the item, including the return shipping address. A RMA number is required for a return and must be visible on the return package or the return will not be processed.

#3 What do I do if the part I need is no longer available?
Parts
- If a service part or accessory is no longer available, there is not a compatible part we can substitute.
- You may be able to locate the part through another source. Check for an authorized GE Appliances Parts distributor in your area who may still have the item in inventory. You may also be able to find the part by conducting an online search using the part number. Some online parts distributors or other sites that sell used or refurbished parts may still have the item in stock.
- If you are unsure which part number you need, locate the model number of your appliance and find your model on our Parts and Accessories web site. From there you will be able to access assembly diagrams that identify replacement parts from each section of the appliance. If you are unable to locate your model number or find it on our Parts and Accessories site, please Contact Us for guided assistance.
Appliances
- When an appliance is no longer manufactured, there is always a remote possibility it could still be in stock in a dealer's inventory. Since we are unable to confirm which models remain in stock at dealer sites, use our Where to Buy site for a listing of dealers near you to contact. If the model you would like is not available with any of those dealers, try expanding your search area.
- Our site provides specifications and product information on many of our appliances that are no longer manufactured. If you cannot find your model on our site, Contact Us for assistance. We can often help provide the specifications you need, or even assist you with finding a comparable model.
Publications
- Appliances that are 20+ years old may have limited literature availability (owner's manuals, installation instructions, energy guide labels, templates, and wiring diagrams). If you are unable to find literature for your model on our site, Contact Us for assistance. In some cases, we may be able to locate the materials.
