Wonderful ice machine!

Nugget ice is a must in our household. My wife simply adores it! 10/10 would buy again, especially on sale. ALWAYS use distilled water (plan for 1/2 gallon or more daily), and properly clean the machine when indicated.

We'd like to assist with your Opal ice maker's squealing sound. When your machine starts to make a squealing sound, it's a sign that the unit has ice building up on the mechanisms. The unit needs to defrost, so that the ice can melt away from the mechanism. This process can take up to 45 minutes to complete. You can unplug the unit for 30 minutes to allow it to reset and plug it back in. You can find more information on defrosting and additional suggestions on the article titled "Opal Ice Maker Dispenser - Defrost Issues" on our GE Appliances website. You can view this article on our website when you put the name of the article in the search bar and then click on the “Support” tab. If the issue continues, please send us a private message via Facebook, Instagram, or X with your contact information, complete model/serial numbers, and a copy of this review so that we can review the information and get back with you quickly.

Dont waste your time or money.

Didn't even work for one day, it made a horrible screeching noise and cycled water constantly. We tried everything to make it work properly, ended up having to return it to the store.

Hoping we just got a bad one

Planning to return. Purchased on 7/31/26 and within a week it's already making a loud screeching sound that only is remedied by turning it off for a few hours but can possibly happen again same day. Really hoping it's just a defect.

bad product

It made great ice for a few months. Then it started making terrible screeching %26 other crazy noises heard throughout the entire house. The dog could hear it outside %26 would make him bark. Would not waste your money on this item.

Don't waste your money

Ice maker worked for 2 weeks, called the service number 5 times. The ice marker has to be returned then they will send a replacement when it is back in stock. 😟

Awesome Ice Maker!!!

This is absolutely the best ice maker I have ever bought and I have bought at least 6! I just can’t say how amazed I am with this machine. It makes ice fast and keeps the bin full. Tank is easy to fill and I use filtered water, not tap water. I love the soft pellet ice so much better than the nugget ice. Should have bought this one the first time! Excellent price, great purchase! GE products rock! One note, this machine was too high to fit under our cabinets so had to place on our bar cart which was fine!

This one works!

This icemaker works exactly as it should. It starts producing pellets within a few minutes. It will fill the bin with wonderful soft pellets in a little over an hour. The added side tank, makes it a breeze to fill. We fill the tank every other day. With the tank, you never have to check the water level inside the icemaker. We run ours on a smart outlet. We turn it on at 7:00AM and off at 7:00PM. Overnight the ice mostly melts and it all goes into the internal reservoir It is fast and reasonably quiet. All you hear is a faint hum and the ice pellets dropping. We've tried several, and this one is the clear winner.

Side tank makes it even better

I always wanted a nugget ice maker and this one is a perfect match. It's size allows plenty of ice, refills quickly and still fits on the counter. I tried it without the side tank initially, but found that we were refilling the internal tank daily (that's how good the ice is!). With the side tank, we only have to refill it weekly.
