    This was a good purchase. I'm not disappointed. It's better than the cheaply made ice makers that just cannot keep up.

      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.

    Makes great ice....when working. Had ice maker for less than 3 weeks. Initially worked great, then motor started making loud noise and ice making stopped. Needless to say returned to store and will not be purchasing this brand again.

    I’m extremely disappointed with the GE Opal Ice Maker. It completely stopped working after just two and a half months of use. It no longer makes ice and constantly goes into defrost mode for no apparent reason. We’ve followed all of the troubleshooting steps recommended by the manufacturer multiple times, but nothing has fixed the issue. For a product at this price point, I expected much better reliability and performance. No star. Don’t waste your money.
