Completely unfixable issue in the first year

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The motor completely busted open. The metal part in Maude the the styrofoam was completely busted as was the styrofoam we had less than a year

Great Ice! 2 cons

I love the ice which is the reason I have purchased 3 Opal ice makers. The problem with this particular one is the cleaning light keeps flashing even after being cleaned. Also it makes more noise than my previous Opal machines.

We would like to help and provide some guidance. After descaling, if the light is still flashing, please do a full reset by unplugging the unit for 2-3 minutes and then plugging the unit back in. If the issue continues please contact Opal Support at myopalservice.com or call 866-907-6718. You can also review the normal sounds that you will hear coming from your Opal Icemaker at the link here: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=35276&_gl=1*.

Broken!!!!

We loved it until 6 months down the road. It makes a nasty loud squeling noise for several minutes straight. It gets so loud it must be unplugged. After you unplug it. And plug it back in. It only takes 5 minutes and same thing over again

Noisy

On occasion, it makes this long whining noise that persists for several minutes. The noise is rather loud and when it happens in the morning, it typically wakes up everyone. It is very annoying!

Great if you only need it until warranty expires

15 Days after the warranty expired it is broken. I came in and it was making a loud banging noise so I shut it off. Then it made this screeching noise and shut off. I'm afraid to use it now. Expensive paperweight.

We'd like to provide you with some information about the operation of your Opal ice maker. We recommend running a descale cycle to resolve any abnormal sounds, as well as ensure that there is at least 4" of clearance in the back, on both sides, and above the Opal. Disconnecting the unit from power for at least 3-4 hours can also help resolve the abnormal sounds. 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.

Great Product

This machine has the ability to make ice very efficiently. We've had at least 20 people over on multiple occasions, and with the added side tank, we've never ran out of ice.

Unusual noises

We had an Opal from a few years ago but it died. We purchased this Opal 2.0 and it's making noises that don't sound right. Its making ice fine but it sounds like something is broken.

We want to help you with the sounds you are hearing on your Opal 2.0 Nugget Ice Maker. We recommend a software update because this model has Wi-Fi. It's also important to make sure you've done the full 55 min descale and not just the 3 min sanitize. Also unplugging it to reset the unit for a couple minutes may help. If the sounds continue, please send us a private message via Facebook, Instagram, X, along with your contact information, complete model/serial numbers, and a copy of this review.

Nice Nugget Ice - not a long life to the machine

It is great, when it works. Machine is showing "Add Water" when there is water in the reservoir and side tank. I have cleaned the machine regularly with warm vinegar as needed.

Too expensive

Way too expensive to not work at all times. Does not regularly make ice without having to shift the appliance. So very disappointed with this product.

Inefficient too quick

Even though it's louder, that's not really the complaint. The door drips water like a leaky faucet when it's open to get ice. The ice just doesn't hold up as long.
