Ice is good at first but no matter how much we run the clean cycle the side tank won’t keep working and has started to rust and leaving rusty water in the tubes.

Constantly stops making ice saysing needs more water but tanks are full

Tank leaks at connecting tube. Tried everything to fix to no avail. I’d return it if possible.

Great product and GE is a leader in technology Keeep them coming.

[Employee of ge_appliances] My family and I love our Opal. There isn't another ice maker on the market that can compare. The side tank is an added bonus and allows for ample time between refills while always ensuring there is enough ice readily available.

I bought this ice maker with hesitation. We had the Opal 2 from GE and had nothing but problems with it. They replaced it under warranty once. We had to replace the pump motor ourselves 3 other times. Nothing but problems. We bought this one because of the new design. We are hopeful for a better experience, but the first one that we received was dead on arrival.

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.

When I read the instructions, they were very difficult to understand. The pics didn't help. Step 8 says fill the reservoir, if desired. Well if you don't the add water comes on. After I finally got it all together, it works. Love the ice. It is a bit tall and won't fit under the cabinets but it's still a great thing since sliced bread.
