We have had our GE Opal 2.0 ice maker for almost 3 months and clean it once a week per manual. All the sudden the add water indicator comes on even when the reservoir and side tank is full. What could be causing this to happen? null

I've had to make sure the hose from the side tank to the machine isn't kinked or elevated. If it's wrapped around anything, looped around itself, elevated, or kinked then it tends to prevent the water from syphoning into the machine's internal reservoir.

1. You might have air in the tube leading from reservoir. 
2. Tube might have build-up that doesn't allow flow.

Thanks for input! After checking for air in line, etc., we got it working again! Hubby removed filter (not sure why he had it in there since we use filtered water) and it started working! I was stressing because I missed my nugget ice! Hopefully we will not have any more issues.

Not sure, but ours has done this when the reservoir was low and the side tank was still full, I pulled out the bin, put it back in, and it began drawing from the side tank. Not sure why this happened. Hopefully not to repeat again, but will do it again if it repeats. Good luck.
