    besides the constant cleaning and the software issue with the descale light on all the time, it works. I still clean it every few weeks with citric acid. I wish I could figure out why the descale light stays on even though I followed instructions to the T.

      If you have already ran a full descale on your unit and the light is still on or flashing. A flashing cleaning light can indicate that the filter on your model needs to be replaced. Once you replace the filter and turn on the machine, the indicator will stop blinking. More information about the filter can be found in the manual on the website on page 10. If replacing the filter does not resolve the issue, please call our Opal support team directly at 866-907-6718. GE_Appliances

    The first time I set it up I could not get it to draw from the side tank. Once I re-read the directions and re-ran a clean cycle through it, it worked. Other than that mishap, I love it.

      We want to help with any issue you're having with the Descale light. We recommend making sure you've performed the full cleaning and descaling process; care and cleaning instructions are available starting on page 7 of the manual. That manual can be viewed on the Best Buy product page when you pull up the 'Features' section and scroll to the bottom. If you're still seeing the light after performing the full process, we recommend disconnecting the unit from power for 3 to 4 hours before reconnecting. If you continue to have an issue after resetting, please send us a private message via our GE Appliances Facebook, Instagram, X, or TikTok with your contact information, the complete model/serial numbers, and a copy of this review.

    We’ve only had this ice machine for a month and a half and it’s already giving us problems. Too late to return, so we have to send it back to the manufacturer. I do love the ice, but it’s too new for sensor issues.
