    Great Ice Annoying Squealing sound

    We liked the looks and the ice of this machine. However it started making a annoying squealing sound about once a day that lasts until we unplug it and then plug back after an hour or so. The ice is great, but this is a pain. We are past being able to return it cause we bought it at the outlet store so we are going to look into it with the manufacturer. Wish us luck.

    We love the soft ice, however the deal breaker is that the sanitizing is being asked about every 4-5 days and the descaling about 7-10 days. I would like know if this is normal, according to the manual the descaling hooks be about once a month, maybe I got a bad one? It’s a tedious process as it has to sit with vinegar for about 16 hours. It’s very expensive to give this much hassle.

      Keeping the Opal ice maker and side tank accessory clean ensures you have plenty of fresh tasting ice. The Opal ice maker will indicate when it is time to clean the unit using the display ring around the round button on the front. When the display ring is solid yellow, it is ready to be cleaned. Cleaning instructions vary depending on which model you own.Descaling should be performed every 2-3 weeks, depending on the hardness of water used. We would suggest searching on our website "Opal Ice Maker - Cleaning and Descaling" to get more information and step by step instuctions. This information can also be found in your manual on the website (Page 7). Dianna@GE Profile GE_Appliances

    So Quiet

    So far so good (although it’s only been a week). I can agree that this icemaker is much quieter than Frigidaire I previously purchased. That was a waste of money. The machine was super loud and broke down before a year.
