We are so sorry to hear of your experience with this Opal ice maker. It is not possible to determine the product failure rate, lifespan, life expectancy, or life cycle of an appliance. There are multiple variables involved such as frequency of use, type of use, location of appliance, care, and maintenance.

That's pretty much it! We're sorry to hear the Opal is having such a drastic problem so early. Please call 1-866-907-6718 to take advantage of the warranty and have this made right. Keep in touch! - John@GEA
