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: does this machine required to be next to a water supply or does the side bin provides the water?
A: The side bin provides water. There is also a reservoir under the bin.
A: During normal operation, condensation forms on the bottom surface of the ice bin. This water will collect and drip down the lower front surfaces of your Opal. The included drip tray can be installed in front of the Opal to collect this water.
A: This specific Opal model does not have the 55 minute descale cycle.
A: The XPIO13SWOW and XPIO13SW1OW are the same exact model so you're not missing any features. -Don@GEAppliances
