Q: does this machine required to be next to a water supply or does the side bin provides the water?
A: The Opal does not have a waterline hookup, so refilling the side tank provides the water for the ice making process.
A: Do a HEAVY descale. Instead of running a cleaning cylce and letting it sit with the descale solution, let it sit for 2-3 days, then FLUSH the crap out of it. Mine started making a horrible squealing noise and made half melted "mush" ice. I did a heavy descale and the amount of stuff that came out was gross. Try that and see if it works, because after i did that, itd back to making perfect ice with no weird noises like it was on day 1. Picture added was taken 3 days after doing the heavy descale.
A: FIRST MAKE SURE THE HOSES ARE NOT CRIMPED. THEN PICK UP WATER TANK FROM SIDE FLIP IT OVER AND PUT BACK IN PLACE. hOPE THIS WORKS
A: At the start of ice making, the Opal will flush the system with water for approximately 5 minutes. You may see or hear water running during this process - this is normal. If the Opal seems loud during this process, it may need more water. If you continue to have concerns, please contact Opal Support by calling 1-866-907-6718 for further assistance.
Q: My cleaning light stays on and won't go off. Only had it a month and it shouldn't need cleaning
A: We recommend trying an electronic reset, which can be done by unplugging the power cord for 2-3 hours, then plugging it back in. If the cleaning light doesn't go away, please send us a private message via Facebook, Instagram, X, or TikTok with your contact information, complete model/serial numbers, and a copy of this review.
A: Not sure but most likely no
A: The cleaning issue can be fixed by using a tap filter (e.g. Brita) or a countertop RO filtration system. Once I started doing that, no more constant descaling or cleaning. The leak might be due to a hose plugged up from scale.
Customers appreciate the Opal 2.0's excellent ice quality and overall performance, frequently praising its ease of use and attractive design. However, some users find the machine noisy and require regular maintenance, including filter replacements and descaling. The water tank capacity and the need for frequent sanitization are also points of concern for some customers. While the compact size is a plus for many, others find the weight to be a significant drawback.
