INSTALLING THE WATER LINE (CONT.) 4 5 6 FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe clamp. Pipe Clamp Saddle-Type Shutoff Valve 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. TIGHTEN THE PIPE CLAMP Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer begins to swell. NOTE: Do not overtighten or you may crush the tubing. Pipe Clamp Clamp Screw Installation Instructions Vertical Cold Water Pipe Washer Inlet End 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. 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. 72 7 8 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 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. Saddle-Type Shutoff Valve Packing Nut Outlet Valve Ferrule (sleeve) Compression Nut 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. FLUSH OUT THE TUBING SmartConnect 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) of water has been flushed through the tubing. To complete the installation of the refrigerator, go back to Step 1 in Installing the Refrigerator.
Normal operating sounds. 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. 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. 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 one of the CustomCool settings. 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. For additional information on normal icemaker and dispenser operating sounds, see the About the automatic icemaker and About the ice and water dispenser sections. 73 Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Installation Instructions Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support
