    Nice machine, Ice is like sonic ice. Looks pleasing. But when defrost comes on it makes really loud noises, which it seems like it does all the time. Really annoying at night when trying to sleep

      Hello – Thank you for connecting with us. We’re so sorry to hear that this Opal Ice Maker did not meet your expectations. At GE Appliances, we strive to deliver the highest quality products and services that meet every need of our consumers; however, we understand that there is always room for improvement. This said, we would like to apologize for any inconvenience this noise has caused you. When the Opal Ice Maker initiates the defrost cycle, you may hear a squeaking sound when the ice is being melted. This is normal; however, if you continue to experience issues, we highly recommend calling Opal Support at 1-866-907-6718, M-F 8-8 EST. Thank you for being the best part of GE Appliances; kind regards – Matthew@GEA GE_Appliances
