GE Universal 8′ Refrigerator Water Supply Line (Part # WX08X10006G)

Ensure a reliable, high-volume flow of water to your appliance with this Genuine OEM Universal Refrigerator Water Line. This premium fluid supply hose (Part # WX08X10006G) connects your home’s main water shut-off valve directly to the water inlet valve on the back of your refrigerator, supplying both your automatic ice maker and front-door water dispenser.

Manufactured directly by GE Appliances, this 8-foot line features a heavy-duty, multi-layered braided structural design. It is engineered to withstand high home water pressures, continuous temperature shifts behind the cabinet, and the physical pulling and pushing forces that occur when sliding your refrigerator out for cleaning. If your current plastic water supply line has become brittle, is kinked and restricting water flow (causing tiny, hollow ice cubes), or has sprung a hazardous pinhole leak, this factory-certified hose provides a secure, permanent upgrade.

Quick Info:

• Compatibility: Universal design engineered for GE (General Electric), Hotpoint, Haier, Monogram, and Café refrigerators, as well as major competitive appliance brands requiring a standard compression fitting connection.

• Length & Fitting: 8-Foot continuous hose equipped with integrated high-pressure brass compression fittings at both ends.

• Fixes Common Issues: Resolves active water leaks behind the refrigerator, low water pressure at the dispenser, slow or sputtering water flow, and undersized ice cube production caused by line restrictions.

• Difficulty: Novice. A very straightforward, tool-accessible DIY project requiring only basic adjustable wrenches.

Pro Tip: When sliding your refrigerator back into its wall enclosure after installing this new line, never push the appliance tightly flat against the drywall. If you jam the refrigerator too far back, you can kink or pinch the supply hose against the rear cabinet frame. A pinched line severely restricts water flow to your ice maker and places constant hydraulic stress on the connections, which can lead to a catastrophic burst over time. Leave at least 2 to 3 inches of clear breathing space behind the unit, allowing the 8-foot line to coil loosely and naturally.

Installation & Safety Steps:

1. Double Isolation: You must completely turn off your home’s dedicated water shut-off valve for the refrigerator and unplug the appliance’s power cord before working on pressurized lines.

2. Bleed the Line: Go to the front door dispenser and press the water pad for 5 to 10 seconds to drain any remaining backpressure out of the internal lines. Keep a shallow bucket and towel handy behind the fridge to catch residual water.

3. Remove the Old Line: Use an adjustable wrench to unscrew the old fittings from both the household water supply valve and the refrigerator’s brass/plastic inlet valve port.

4. Attach the New Line: Thread the compression nuts of the new braided hose onto the household valve and the refrigerator valve by hand to prevent cross-threading. Tighten them down firmly with your wrench (be careful not to over-tighten and crush the internal seals).

5. Leak Check: Turn your household water supply valve back on before pushing the refrigerator back into place. Let it sit for 5 minutes and wipe the connections with a dry tissue to verify there is zero trace of weeping or moisture.

Are you running this new line to replace a cracked, older plastic water line, or are you hooking up a brand-new refrigerator to your kitchen’s water supply valve?
