    It makes nice ice. Even with routine maintenance and using purified water it broke in 6 months. I bought the protection plan and best buy is replacing it. But this is just silly.

    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
