Customer Questions and Answers for Refrigerator Water Tank Dispenser Reservoir by Ge

Michael Draper, you will need 2 compression unions so you can attach the new lines to the old lines, part number is WR02X11330

Bob, the part number WR17X11440 is the recommended part for your model, if you decide to use another part, you would be responsible for making it fit.

Hello Chris. Yes as long as the old tubing is not bad or broke, you can use it with the new tank. Thank you.

Al, Check and make sure the water supply line to the filter and refrigerator isn't kinked or twisted, and check the saddle valve needle to see if it may be clogged and slowing down the water flow to the refrigerator, you may want to replace it with a "drill" type saddle valve to keep it from getting clogged. The "dark discoloration at the bottom of the "W" of the water tank" is most likely hard water deposits or possibly algae in the water, after the filter has done it's job. You can replace the water tank WR17X4358 / WR17X4358, or remove the filter for a few days so the chemicals in the water supply can dissolve the build up, then flush the system.

Hello James. It does not matter with the tank. Either way is fine since it is just used for storage.

George, When the water line for the water tank breaks, it is best to replace the complete water tank assembly WR17X4358.

Hello John. There shouldn't be any dust in the lines. Try rinsing the glass before putting water into it and see if it is from the glass.

Alkemine, You would want to get the water tank WR17X4358. The WR17x4000 is showing as being a nameplate.

Kken, The "notch" in the old tubing, is where the compression ring inside the coupling applied pressure to the tube when installed at the factory. The new tubing will do the same thing after a while. For a good tight water proof fit, install the tube as far as possible into the fitting, then slide the coupler down onto the threaded fitting and tighten by hand as tight as possible. Using a small crescent wrench or pair of pliers, and 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn using the tool, this should exert enough pressure on the internal feral to seal the tube. Do Not over tighten the coupler fitting, it will also cause the fit to leak.

Hello Richard, The unit has to get down to operating temperature and satisfy the ice maker thermostat before it can cycle on its' own. This is in the neighborhood of 20°F. The new design ice maker by GE cannot be forced to cycle without damage to the assembly as per GE. The unit will just have to come down to temperature.
