valve.

 GE Appliances strongly recommends the use of factory specified parts. A list of factory hoses available for 
purchase are listed. These hoses are manufactured and tested to meet GE Appliances specifications.

 GE Appliances strongly recommends the use of new water supply hoses. Hoses degrade over time and need 
to be replaced every 5 years to reduce the risk of hose failures and water damage.
