    I’ve had this for almost a year, and at about 9 months I started having issues with it. Apparently a VERY common issue where the ice maker says to add water but it’s full of water. Resulting in me having to “prime it” every day by sticking my finger over the suction hole until I get suction back. Due to this my water is consistently dirty bc I have to stick my whole hand in it every day. Sometimes this doesn’t even fix it. I am currently in the process of trying to use my warranty but GE wants to send me a refurbished one which will probably have the same issues based on how many people have this issue. Do not buy this!! Try a different brand.

    Love using this ice machine. I only wish it kept the ice froze, but it’s constantly makes fresh ice. Clean it once a week if you don’t use the ice a lot.

    I have had 3 replacements from the manufacturer and they all are terrible. The unit makes a loud whining noise within 2-3 days of setting up and you have to turn it off to stop it. The model has to be defective overall. I can't find one that actually works.

      Hello- We are very sorry to hear you are having this issue with your new Opal. Here are some tips that should help. If the water well is filled to the upper fill line and no ice is being produced, please perform this simple test: 1. Please start the Opal and switch to cleaning mode. Don't forget to detach the side tank. 2. Remove the screen/filter at the bottom corner of the reservoir, exposing the small white rubber inlet used for water circulation. 3. Make certain that the Opal is not connected to the phone app and that the water well is filled to the upper fill line with distilled water. 4. Remove the ice bin and press the button to see if the Opal pumps water. This could take up to 5 minutes to start. 5. Plug the small inlet with your finger for 10-15 seconds to create a vacuum within the pump/circulation system. 6. Release the plug and wait a minute or until you see water movement. 7. If you do not see a change, you may want to repeat these steps a couple of times. Note: If you see water movement, please switch to ice mode and run for 30 minutes. **You may also need to prime your pump so try using a Turkey Baster/Injector and gently fill the hose that doesn't go to the side tank with water, and then restart the machine. If you continue to have issues, please reach out to OnPoint directly by calling 1-866-907-6718, M-F 8-8 EST. If you have any questions, please reach out to us via a private mess on Facebook. We are happy to help! Joyce@Profile GE_Appliances
