I just set up my new ice maker yesterday. So far I love it. It is sooo quiet. The ice is a perfect size for drinks and for chewing. The machine, so far, seems to make ice quickly.
The ice maker ran for about two months. It then started to make squeaking noises. We cleaned it. We defrosted it. Nothing seemed to work. Finally it we into defrost mode and would not produce ice, no matter what we did. By the way, we never used tap water. We use distilled water.

We want to help go over the sounds that you were noticing. When an Opal is in need of defrosting, it may start to squeak as ice starts to build up around the mechanisms. The defrost cycle is automatic and may take 10 to 45 minutes. If you are still not seeing ice production after this, we suggest unplugging the power cord for 30 seconds and then plugging it back in.
This is a great little countertop ice maker. Makes ice fast. Easy to clean and sanitize when necessary. Bought the side tank too. Very happy with my purchase.

We're happy to hear you love your new opal icemaker! We're pretty fond of this unit as well. You'll never run out of nugget ice thanks to a large capacity ice maker that makes up to 1.6 pounds of fresh ice per hour and holds up to 3 pounds at a time!
I recently purchased the GE Ice Maker, and I am delighted with it! The setup process was simple, and I was able to start making ice right away. The ice maker is very convenient, especially since my refrigerator does not have one. The nugget ice cubes are convenient for refilling my water bottles, refreshing drinks, and iced coffee, and the machine produces them quickly. I also appreciate that it only takes up a little counter space. I highly recommend the GE Ice Maker to anyone needing a reliable and efficient ice maker.

We're sorry to hear that your Opal stopped working. We recommend resetting your icemaker by disconnecting power from the unit for 2 - 3 minutes and reconnecting. Please refer to the troubleshooting steps at this link here: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=39628
GE Profile line is unmatched! This is my 3rd profile appliance and it is by far the best ice maker on the market. Within 15 mins of filling it up with water after cleaning all the new parts for the first use, it was already dropping beautiful nuggie ice!!! The taste is the freshest and tastey ice I've ever had. After seeing the reviews of the complaints being made it was easy to see it was all user error. I already knew GE would not disappoint with the opal. I am only using bottled water and couldn't imagine ruining this beauty with tap water. The current sale price was really nice too. Thank you GE for another beautiful machine.

Loved it at first!! Used it daily until about a week ago completely stopped making ice. Cleaned again as instructed and still no ice. For the $$ this cost, it should last longer in my opinion. Would only recommend if it was 1/5 Of the price for the length it lasts

We hate to hear that your Opal stopped working after such a short time; this is not something we want or expect from our appliances, and we want to help. We encourage you to reach out directly to our Opal support team. They can be reached by phone at 1-866-907-6718.
Great Ice maker, second one however this is Generation 2 and it is a nice product.
This was great for the first few weeks. It does not work over 75 degrees inside. It doesn't keep up. Tried to warranty it out but was denied. We've had it for less than 2 years and spent so much money its terrible. It's now making a terrible gear grinding noise and cleaning it every over week with bleach and every other week with vinegar. I will never buy a GE product again.

We want to help go over the noise you are noticing with your icemaker. We suggest checking the following support article, it goes over some of the normal noises that can be heard. (https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=35276). However, a consistent grinding noise is not considered normal. We suggest getting in touch directly with Opal Support at 1-866-907-6718.

When will my item arrive?
Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we've all come to expect for small parcels, so it's important that you're prepared and understand what's required of you well before delivery day.
- Most freight products ship on a pallet
- Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
- We'll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.
For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:
Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can't be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we've only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.
For carriers that deliver without an appointment:
Carriers that deliver without an appointment don't require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren't required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you're home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you're out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.
