||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.1 month review. This machine is great l. We live full time in an rv and going after ice all the time sucks. The scale inhubitor is great with a lot of parks having well water. The holding area is somewhat insulated so does well retaining ice. Also it doesnt drip all over the place when you pull the drawer out to get ice.

Ice Maker

Posted .Thank you for taking the time to leave us your review. If your filter is not working for your ice maker, we recommend ensuring that it is installed correctly, and not clogged or dirty. If this doesn't help, please send us a private message on Facebook or Instagram with your full model and serial numbers, contact information, and a screenshot of this review. We'd like to investigate this thoroughly. -Kacie@GEAppliances

Wanted to love it…
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was very excited about this ice maker, but not too happy with it any more. We’ve had it for a total of 2 weeks and it started making this crazy loud noise. Powered it off, unplugged it and it didn’t stop. Read some review responses suggesting to defrost, we’ll see if that works. But there is 0 reason why this should be an issue 2 weeks in. Also, what’s up with needing to sanitize weekly?
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from GE Answers
Posted .We'd like to assist with your Opal making sounds. Your Opal Ice Maker Dispenser will defrost when it is needed. When your Opal needs defrosting, it may start to squeak as ice begins to build up around the mechanisms. The defrost cycle is automatic and usually takes about 10 to 20 minutes. This is normal operation.
Make sure there is a minimum of 3" inches clearance on the back and the sides of the unit to ensure proper airflow. Also check to ensure that the side tank is not blocking either of the side vents. It should be pulled forward, in line with the front of the Ice Maker.
Cleaning your Opal frequently will keep the nugget ice tasting fresh and the machine looking great. Yes, we recommend cleaning your Opal once a week.

Great Product
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
I would recommend this to a friend Great addition, cleaning is a pain
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from GE Answers
Posted .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.
