If you are using the scale inhibiting or accessory water filter, this may be an indication of the need to replace the filter. That said, we would like to review your situation further and have sent you an email requesting additional information to do so. Please respond at your earliest convenience.

We are glad to assist with the sound level of your opal. This ice maker is a complex device that combines electrical and mechanical components such as a compressor, pump, motors and fans to deliver perfect ice. These components power on at different times during the ice making cycle. This is normal. Hard surfaces like the floor, walls and countertops can amplify these sounds. For more information on sounds the unit can make, you can refer here: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=35276#:~:text=This%20noise%20should%20be%20considerably,take%2010%20to%2045%20minutes.

Great ice maker

This is a great ice maker. We have it on our kitchen counter and it fits perfectly under our cabinets. The noise only comes on when making ice but is quiet enough that you become accustomed to it fairly quick. Makes ice fast. My wife really enjoys the nugget ice.

Love the ice!

We recently purchased the Opal ice maker and are very impressed with the ice nuggets! The machine is much quieter than our previous ice maker and it seems to be MUCH higher quality. The instructions to descale/sanitize the machine prior to making the ice were very easy. The ice does take a minute to make but for just the two of us, we have plenty of ice. Overall, very impressed!

Wonderful ice!

I was skeptical about spending this kind of money for ice. We had a GE ice maker at work and it did not make enough ice and what ice was in the bin was too soft and melted. I got the GE Profile and I am very happy with my purchase! It makes plenty of ice and it stays crunchy all day. This is the best investment, totally worth it.

A good product but........

This is a good product however, I do not like the noise. It is a fair amount louder than equivalent ice machines. This unit also has a poor design for where the ice shovel is stored. Once the ice is at half capacity, it is hard to store the shovel. Cleaning this ice machine takes lots of work and will take up an entire day of usage.

Makes great chewy ice!

So far this nugget ice maker has been perfect. This unit is replacing a slightly cheaper model with a similar design, minus the separate water tank. Our previous ice maker was a Newair and it only lasted 18 months. The new GE ice maker makes better ice, and is definitely quieter. We also really love the side tank and being able to fill the water without removing the ice bin. My only complaint about this unit is that you need to be aware that filling the tank when the ice bin is full could cause an overflow. We filled the tank, and then let an almost full bin of ice melt back into the reservoir which caused water to flow back to the tank and spill over. Beware of gravity and basic physics! Other than that, this has been a great appliance for us. Hopefully it lasts for a few years.

Love the ice, dislike the durability.

This is a warranty replacement of my second failed Opal. We love the ice! We do not like the durability of the product. Our first ice maker quit working after 15 months; well past the 12 month warranty. GE would not give any discount on our second Opal. When it failed at exactly 12 months with a cracked ice auger, they sent us a replacement. It came without a new warranty, so if (when?) this one fails I am no longer a GE Opal owner.
