Constant cleaning light

Brand new and on a week, the cleaning button won't stop blinking, even after cleaning. It's apparently a known issue. Irritating to say the leas.

We'd like to assist with this issue with your new Opal's cleaning light. We recommend ensuring you're following the full cleaning procedure, as detailed starting on page 7 of the manual; that's linked here: https://products-salsify.geappliances.com/image/upload/s--ICQ21ZKI--/dc06c26a71060819d54b8d9bf6c53eb64be9dce9.pdf. If you've gone through that full process and still see the light, we recommend disconnecting the Opal from power for three to four hours before reconnecting, to reset it. We'll also be reaching out over email to discuss this situation with you further. Please respond at your earliest convenience, so we can assist.

Very loud noises that are not easy to fix

The ice machine makes good ice nuggets however every day it will start making a very loud screeching noise that I cant fix.

We’re glad to hear you’re happy with the ice nuggets your Opal produces, and we’d like to address the issue you’re having with sound. Water hardness can result in a calcium build up that may cause sound, and we recommend using distilled water in your Opal to help reduce build up. Distilled water is different from bottled water, reverse osmosis water, filtered water, or spring water. These other options contain varying levels of minerals that can build up in the unit and impede optimal operation. Using distilled water reduces the frequency of descaling and cleaning. Using our scale-inhibiting filter, part P4INKSFLTR, is designed to increase the time between cleanings and reduce the solidification of scale. We also suggest cleaning the Opal according to the instructions starting on page 7 of the manual; that’s linked here: https://images.salsify.com/image/upload/s--ICQ21ZKI--/dc06c26a71060819d54b8d9bf6c53eb64be9dce9.pdf. The cleaning and descaling process can often help with an issue with sound. We have information about sounds you may hear at this link: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=35276. If you think the sound you’re hearing isn’t normal, then among the other tips we recommend ensuring there are at least 4” of clearance in the back, on both sides, and above the Opal and that the side tank isn’t covering a vent. We also recommend disconnecting the unit from power for 3 to 4 hours before reconnecting, to reset it. We’ll be reaching out over email to discuss this situation with you further. We look forward to hearing back from you, so we can assist with your situation.

Nice when it works

My ice maker tells me to add water even when the side water tank is full. To add to the fun, their online and phone support are useless.

If you have the scale inhibiting filter installed, try removing it and descale and sanitize the unit as mentioned in the Owner's Manual on pages 7-9 - https://products-salsify.geappliances.com/image/upload/s--ICQ21ZKI--/dc06c26a71060819d54b8d9bf6c53eb64be9dce9.pdf - Please contact us directly if you continue to have an issue.

Bad Deal

We got this ice maker and it wasn't cheap, it worked fine for a while then stopped working, and I did the cleaning as recommended.

We love our new ice maker!

We love our new ice maker! It creates the best nugget ice. It's fairly quiet and produces ice pretty fast. Overall we're very happy with it!

Good product

Would give 5 star if building water supply was an option. Other than that, great machine. Don't get the scoop holder-boo.

Hope I got a good one this time

My last one lasted two years, I hope this is an improvement and will last longer. Got a four year warranty.
