Maintenance makes it not worth having

The ice is great BUT the maintenance sucks. This thing constantly has a dark gross film that comes back a couple of days after cleaning it. I've left vinegar in it for DAYS and still can't get it clean. If you have a filter, you're probably fine, but for regular water and especially hard water be prepared to constantly be cleaning this thing.

STOP don’t buy this ice maker!

Poor product, after about 2 hours of making ice it started to making a harrowing sound.

No nugget ice for me

It keeps saying to add water when it’s full of water including the side tank

Terrible

Terrible product. First time using and its squealed the whole time and barely produced any ice after two hours. Don’t waste your time or money.

reply from GE Answers

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.

Lasted about two years same as all the rest.

Sad to say, but just like every other modern appliance. Ice makers last about a year. Just put it in your budget. At most you'll get two years.
