SAFETY (CONT.)
WARNING
Tip Over Hazard.
Built-in style models (model PYE, CYE, and PWE) are top heavy, especially with any doors open. These
models must be secured with the anti-tip floor bracket to prevent tipping forward, which could result
in death or serious injury. Read and follow the entire installation instructions for installing the anti-tip
floor bracket packed with your refrigerator.
CONNECTING ELECTRICITY
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard.
Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet
Do not remove the ground prong
Do not use an adapter
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
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.
A 115 Volt AC, 60 Hz, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded electrical
supply is required. 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.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
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.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is
your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced
with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. Do not use an
adapter.
When moving the refrigerator away from the wall, be careful
not to roll over or damage the power cord.
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own
individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that
matches the rating plate.
PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR
WARNING
Suffocation and child entrapment hazard.
Remove fresh-food and freezer doors from the refrigerator, prior to disposal. Failure to do so can
result in child entrapment which can lead to death or brain damage.
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past.
IMPORTANT:
Refrigerants
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.
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.
Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or
Freezer:
„ Take off the fresh food and freezer doors.
„ Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb
inside.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

About the control features)
If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator is first installed,
there may be air in the water line system. Press the dispenser

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.
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.
„
„
To keep dispensed ice from missing the glass, put the glass
close to, but not touching, the dispenser opening.
„
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.
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.
„
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.
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*
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.
The water dispenser is located on the
left wall inside the refrigerator compart-
ment.
To dispense water:
Hold the glass against the recess.
Push the water dispenser button.
NOTE: To avoid water deposits, the dispenser should be
cleaned periodically by wiping with a clean cloth or sponge.
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.

About the GE® RPWF water filter cartridge.
2. While continuing to ensure cartridge
Water Filter Cartridge
The water filter cartridge is located in one of the following places:
Bottom-freezer (BF) refrigerators:
- In the water filter compartment on the right side wall of the
left-hand fresh food door.
- In the fresh food interior on the left side wall, near the top.
is fully seated in the holder, gently
swing the filter inward until it is in a
vertical position. If filter will not swing
easily, check to ensure filter is properly
aligned and fully seated within the
cartridge holder.
3. Run 2 gallons of water through the cold
water dispenser (about 5 minutes) to
remove air from the system. A newly
installed filter cartridge will cause
water to spurt from the dispenser. Use
a large pitcher or sports bottle to catch
the water spray. DO NOT use the hot
water dispenser or hands-free auto-fill
(some models) until all air is removed
from the system.
When to replace the filter cartridge
The filter cartridge should be replacedevery six months or earlier
if the flow of water to the dispenser or icemaker decreases.
Push/Pull
Touch Screen Models: A filter status message will appear on the
screen when the water filter needs to be replaced. The filter status
message must be reset manually.
Swing
The “Water Filter: Replace” status message can be reset by
entering the Settings menu from the home screen. Then, select
the Water Filter menu and press the RESET button. This will reset
the filter status.
4. Reset Filter Status message
Touch Screen Models: Access RESET button through the Water
Filter menu.
Non-touch Screen Models: A filter indicator light (or message)
will illuminate on the screen when the water filter needs to be
replaced. This light must be reset by pressing and holding the
Reset Filter button for three seconds.
Non-touch Screen Models: Press and hold the Reset Filter button
for three seconds.
WARNING Using the hot water dispenser prior to purging air
from the system may result in spurting of hot water and lead
to hot water scalding. Follow the instructions above to purge all air
from the system through the cold water dispenser prior to using the
hot water dispenser.
The filter cartridge has a maximum life of six months and
should be replaced when indicated by the filter indicator on the
refrigerator, or sooner if a significant reduction in flow occurs.
Removing the filter cartridge
To replace the filter, first remove the old cartridge by opening
the filter door and pulling on the bottom of the cartridge to allow
it to swing outward. When the cartridge can no longer swing,
gently pull to unseat it from the cartridge holder. DO NOT TWIST
CARTIDGE. A small amount of water may drip out.
Note: It is normal for water to appear discolored during the initial
system flush. Water color will return to normal after first few minutes
of dispensing.
Filter Bypass Plug
To reduce the risk of property damage due to water leakage, you
MUST use the filter bypass plug when a replacement filter cartridge
is not available. The dispenser and icemaker will not operate without
either the filter or bypass plug installed. The bypass plug is installed
in the same way as a filter cartridge.
Installing the Filter Cartridge
1. Align top of filter with cartridge holder and push until cartridge
is fully seated.
WARNING
To reduce the risk associated with choking, do not allow children under 3 years of age to have access to
small parts during the installation of this product. The disposable filter cartridge should be replaced every
6 months at the rated capacity, or sooner if a noticeable reduction in flow rate occurs.
For the maximum benefit of your filtration system, GE recommends the use of GE-branded filters only. Using GE-branded filters in GE
and Hotpoint® refrigerators provides optimal performance and reliability. GE filters meet rigorous industry NSF standards for safety
and quality that are important for products that are filtering your water. GE has not qualified non-GE-branded filters for use in GE and
Hotpoint refrigerators and there is no assurance that non-GE-branded filters meet GE's standards for quality, performance and reliability.

About the automatic ice maker.
A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.
Automatic Ice Maker*
You may hear a buzzing sound each time
the ice maker fills with water.
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.
Ice maker
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.
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.
Feeler Arm
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will
become cloudy, taste stale and shrink.
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.
NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average water
pressure, you may hear the ice maker cycle
multiple times when making one batch of ice.
WARNING
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. Do not place fingers or
hands on the automatic ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.

Installation Instructions
INSTALLING THE WATER LINE
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
All installations must be in accordance with local
plumbing code requirements.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
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.

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.
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.
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 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.

INSTALLING THE WATER LINE (cont.)
Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently
used drinking water line.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED (CONT.)
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.

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.

Normal operating conditions.
GEAppliances.com
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.
„
„
„
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.
„
„
You may hear a whooshing sound when the doors close. This is
due to pressure equalizing within the refrigerator.
After dispensing ice, a motor will close the ice chute to keep
warn room air from entering the ice bucket, maintaining ice at a
freezing temperature.
The fans change speeds in order to provide optimal cooling and
energy savings.
The hum of the motor closing the ice chute is normal, shortly after
dispensing ice.
WATER SOUNDS
CLICKS, POPS,
CRACKS and SNAPS
„
You may hear cracking or popping sounds when the refrigerator
is first plugged in. This happens as the refrigerator cools to the
correct temperature.
„
„
„
„
The flow of refrigerant through the cooling coils may make a
gurgling noise like boiling water.
„
„
„
Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during and after
defrost can cause a cracking or popping sound.
Water dropping on the defrost heater can cause a sizzling,
popping or buzzing sound during the defrost cycle.
On models with an ice maker, after an ice making cycle, you may
hear the ice cubes dropping into the ice bucket.
A water dripping noise may occur during the defrost cycle as ice
melts from the evaporator and flows into the drain pan.
On models with a dispenser, during water dispense, you may
hear the water lines move at initial dispense and after dispenser
button is released.
Closing the door may cause a gurgling sound due to pressure
equalization.
START UP COOLING
It can take up to 24 hours for the refrigerator and freezer
temperatures to match the display. During that time refrigerator and
freezer door openings should be minimized.
TIPS
„
„
Freezer cools first.
Refrigerator compartment cools last; it may take several
hours after the freezer.
Turning off ice maker makes both fresh food and freezer
food cool faster.

Truth or Myth
Truth or Myth?
Answer
Explanation
The refrigerator water filter may require replacement, TRUE
even though the filter indicator has not turned red, or
reads “Filter Expired.”
The water filter indicator will indicate the need to replace the water filter
every six months. 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 About the Automatic Ice Maker.
After the refrigerator has been plugged in and
connected to water, I will immediately have unlimited
chilled water available from the water dispenser.
MYTH
TRUE
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.
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 replac-
ing the water filter, I must dispense water for five
minutes.
TRUE
TRUE
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.
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.
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), 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 a 1/4” allen wrench to adjust
the right hand door. The adjustment screw is located on the bottom right
hand side of the door; open the freezer door to access the screw. The left
hand fresh food door may be raised using spacers. Call 800-GECARES to
obtain the spacers.
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 door. Open the freezer door to access. The left hand fresh food door
may be raised using spacers. Call 800-GECARES to obtain the spacers.
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.

Truth or Myth (cont.)
Truth or Myth?
Answer
Explanation
Door removal is always required for installation.
MYTH
Check chart on reverse side of this instruction. Doors should only be
removed when necessary to prevent damage from passage way or
access to final location.
Refrigerator doors that won’t close after installation, TRUE
can be adjusted to close properly.
Door mechanism works best if installed at 90°+. If installed at 180°,
remove the door from the mid hinge, and swing the door 180° before
reinstalling. See Reinstalling the Refrigerator Doors.
There is an adjustment to rear wheels.
MYTH
Front leveling legs are adjustable and should be used to balance the
refrigerator. Leveling legs are used to make initial fresh food door
adjustment.
Check for leaks after all water connections are made. TRUE
While purging the air from the water system, check all water line
connections for leaks. Check the connection to the household water
supply at back of refrigerator, and door water line connect.
My LCD display will always be on when I plug the
power cord in at installation.
MYTH
MYTH
If the refrigerator has been stored in a cold environment, the LCD may
be slow to give a proper display. Give the refrigerator enough time to
warm up, and the display should be okay.
Any packaging residue can be cleaned off the
refrigerator using any cleaner.
Do not use wax, polish, bleach, or other products containing chlorine
on Stainless Steel panels, door handles and trim. Check this instruction
under “Cleaning the Outside” for full details.
