Water Filter Accessory
The water filter is an option at extra cost
and is available from your dealer. Specify
WR97X0214. It has complete installation
instructions and installs on 1/4″ O.D.
copper water line or plastic tubing that is
included in a GE SmartConnect
™
Refrigerator Tubing kit. When using the
plastic tubing, an additional piece of plastic
tubing (WX08X10002) must also be
ordered since the plastic tubing should
not be cut.
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.
Automatic Icemaker (on some models)
The icemaker will produce approximately
3 to 3-1/2 lbs. of ice in a 24-hour period,
depending on the freezer compartment
temperature, room temperature, number
of door openings and other use conditions.
There are two types of icemakers: power
switch models and feeler arm models.
If the refrigerator is operated before the
water connection is made to the icemaker,
set the power switch to O (off) or move the
feeler arm to the STOP (up) position.
When the refrigerator has been connected
to the water supply, set the power switch to
the I (on) position or move the feeler arm to
the ON (down) position. On power switch
models, the green light will come on.
The icemaker will fill with water when it
cools to 15°F. A newly-installed refrigerator
may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making
ice cubes.
Once the icemaker starts to make ice, it
may take up to 48 hours to fill the bin,
depending on the temperature settings
and number of door openings.
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, shrink or
fuse together.
On power switch models, the green power
light will blink if ice cubes get stuck in the
icemaker. To correct this, set the power
switch to O (off) and remove the cubes. Set
the power switch to I (on) to restart the
icemaker. After the icemaker has been
turned on again, there will be a delay of
about 45 minutes before the icemaker
resumes operation.
NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average water
pressure, you may hear the icemaker cycle multiple
times when making one batch of ice.
About the automatic icemaker.
A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12–24 hours to begin making ice.
Icemaker Accessory Kit
If your refrigerator did not already come
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.
