## Description

Opal Nugget Ice, is The Good Ice! Our nugget ice is chewable, crunchy, and airy in texture – because it’s made from compacted ice flakes! Our beautifully designed countertop nugget ice maker is developed to avoid ice clumps and produces one pound of fresh ice per hour and has a large-capacity bin that holds up to 3lbs of crunchable nugget ice - that's 24 pounds of ice per day. Begin enjoying your first batch of ice in 20 minutes or less with the rapid production of this countertop ice maker. Schedule fresh ice, monitor your ice maker’s status and order accessories, all through the app on your smartphone via built-in Bluetooth connectivity. You'll always have fresh ice on hand thanks to a smart, automatic ice maker that refills when your ice is running low. Troubleshooting: (1) Unit alerts to add water when reservoir is already full of water (switching blue light ring) - *Inadequate water flow - Follow descale procedure manual page 9 of Use of Care *Air in water lines - Clearing trapped air requires manual priming of the unit. Remove white water filter or metal particulate filter. In a rapid plunger like movement, press finger at reservoir outlet 4 times to force water into lines (2) Low quantity ice or unit continues to enter defrost (slowly falling white light ring) - *Inadequate Cooling - With unit off, using a vacuum, clean the vent on left side of the unit to remove dust/debris *Improper Spacing around unit - Ensure unit has a minimum of 3 inches of clearance around the side and back walls of the ice maker for proper air circulation (3) Hardwater stains in reservoir/back wall/ice bin - *Descale procedure manual page 9 of Use and Care.

Review: Update 6 months later: Works great until it doesn't. - Update: Stopped working, I called GE, and they said they would send me a refurbished one, but it will take around six weeks. That was about four weeks ago. Less than a year old, using only RO water, and it has crapped out on me. I really love this ice maker when it is working. Received a refurbished unit as a replacement. It took over 6 weeks to get here though the warranty was not extended at all for the time I was missing an ice maker. I really hate that I like this ice so much as I don't like the ice maker, the warranty, or the customer service. Original review: I have looked at this ice maker for over a year, but the bad reviews held me back. Finally, hubby convinced me to order, and now I can't believe it took so long. I was afraid it wouldn't produce enough ice to be worthwhile, but now I'm wondering what I am going to do with all of it. We have six people in the house at the moment (think Texas in August), and there is more ice than we have used. In fact, in the last two days, I have filled three-gallon ziplock bags with ice that are sitting in the freezer untouched. The ice is amazing. Perfect! Fabulous! This is not a freezer, so the ice will slowly melt and recirculate. The bin has holes in the bottom to let the water drain, so the ice stays fresh and crunchy. We have not turned it off since plugging it in. Cons: The machine is a bit loud. Still, it is in an open kitchen with a couch 6 feet away, and we don't turn it off to watch TV. so it's not horribly loud. The machine is heavy and bulky. You are supposed to drain and clean every week, or so so I am keeping it close to the kitchen sink. We would have preferred to put it in a different location, but that is not practical. It was also too tall to find under our counter. Pay close attention to the measurements if you need to put it on a counter with a cabinet above. Overall I am extremely pleased with the quality of ice, the noise level, and the ease of setup. If my opinion changes, I will update this review.
Review: Yes its worth it and here's how to fix it IF you have problems early on - ***ONE MONTH UPDATE*** I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!! This review is for everyone considering an Opal AND those having issues with their Opal. Please try these steps and see if it resolves the blue light/not making ice issue!! So I received my Opal Saturday (a day earlier than expected). The box nor device were damaged, unlike some buyers, so I guess I was lucky there. It appeared to be completed new, not refurbished. The setup was a bit..... tedious. Running the cleaning cycle a few times took a lot of time but in hindsight, it also helped me understand the mechanics of the ice maker, which came in handy today. (More on that layer) The last 5 days have been crushed ice lovers BLISSSSSS! I swear, it’s been everything I dreamed of. “Sonic ice” available at my will. I almost wrote a glorious review Monday. (Glad I waited) Up until this morning, it was making ice perfectly. When I left this morning, I noticed it wasn’t and tried setting the schedule from my phone on the way out the door, expecting it would be fine when I returned from work. No such luck. I walked in to a completely empty ice bin despite the water being full . SAD-NESS ensued. I immediately began googling the “Opal Ice Make blue light” topic but let me save you a step. The suggestion of running a cleaning cycle didn’t work so I came here for help, only to find a HELLUVA lot of awful reviews (on this listing and some others). Decided to review the Owners Manual for help (thankfully I didn’t trash it), and read the steps about cleaning mineral deposits, something something. Basically, I ran two cleaning cycles with a lot of white vinegar and water and THEN I actually started an ice making cycle with the vinegar water. Wouldn’t you know, the water FINALLY began pumping thru the machine again! GLOORRRRYYY! So yeah, upon getting the water pumping again, I switched it back to cleaning mode, and pumped another two rounds of FILTERED water thru the machine and it’s now happily (and loudly) making ice again. Is it a darn shame it took all this to make it work beyond 6 days?? YES. But am I truly thankful to hear that ice dropping again? HELL YES!! My takeaway here is that I should probably always use filtered water going forward (and not the tap water I was using). I’ll check back in with any updates if things change but for now, it’s working again. And to anyone thinking about getting one of these ice makers, I guess we’ll see if it’s worth the money in the long run. If I could afford the countertop Follett ice maker ($3K+), that would’ve been my first choice. (They have it at my car dealership and the ice is DIVINE but it’s hard connected to your water line so it requires professional installation, too). So for me and my budget this $550 was a stretch, but if you got coins to spend and want the real thing, look into the Follett 7CI100A-IW-NF-ST-00 7 Series Air Cooled Countertop Ice Maker and Water Dispenser. Hope this helps someone craving ice right now! I’m about to go get a cup! ☺️

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I have this model & can not remember how often the water filter needs replaced and can't find my book - can someone help me.**
A: The machine doesn't need the water filter to work and there are a couple different brands that fit it.  The Sweetums Signatures brand ice maker water filter we bought off Amazon says it has a 3 month life span,or you can click this link :https://www.amazon.com/Sweetums-Signatures-P4INKFILTER-Opal-Filter/dp/B08PPVPLT8.I would go off of the filter instructions for how often it should be changed. It likely depends on how often you use your machine too.

**Q: Where can I purchase a new filter for this ice machine?**
A: amazon. Search for Top Pure Ice maker water filter or click this link:https://www.amazon.com/P4INKFILTR-Replacement-Maker-Water-Filter/dp/B08D7K431M

**Q: Will Top Pure brand Ice maker water filter fit ge profile opal ice maker 2.0**
A: Yes,purchase it on amazon,click this link:https://www.amazon.com/P4INKFILTR-Replacement-Maker-Water-Filter/dp/B08D7K431M, I just installed it myself!! It installs easily in the front of the ice maker. You remove the ice bin and reach down inside to pull out the small rectangular screen in the lower right side. Then you will take this filter and attach it nozzle side directly into the small hole that the rectangular screen was removed from. Make sure you save the removed screen as you will need to use it to plug the hole every time you clean the ice maker.

**Q: Is there a filter in the ice maker**
A: The machine does not come with a filter. You can purchase them separately.I purchased Sweetums Signatures brand Ice Maker water filter,or you can click this link https://www.amazon.com/Sweetums-Signatures-P4INKFILTER-Opal-Filter/dp/B08PPVPLT8

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome, beautiful, quiet machine! Yummy ice! Excellent addition to your dream kitchen!
*by J***N on February 13, 2021*

We’ve been wanting an pellet ice maker for years. Every time we go to a restaurant that has pellet ice we state that we want a machine. Well we finally had the money to invest in one and researched several. We were confused why it seems why people either seemed to give it 1 star and complained about the loud noise it makes or 5 stars stating it was not very loud and awesome. We are definitely the 5 star awesome crowd. As you see in the video it makes a low volume hum similar to a refrigerator or dishwasher. I find it calming. However, we believe we have figured out the issue. Once the water cycles through in the reservoir it will try to suck up water to make the ice and will make a loud gurgling/screeching noise. Once you put more water in the reservoir the loud sound goes away instantly. Think of a large mouth trying to suck up a tiny amount of water. Give the poor beautiful machine something to drink people! If you don’t want to make more ice then just hit the pretty, big, illuminated button at the top. We turn off the machine over night and it still has ice in the bin the next morning. Some ice does melt but it the water doesn’t sit at the bottom of the tray because the ice bin has drainage holes in the bottom and the water just goes in the water reservoir. If you want to make more ice and need to fill up the ice machine again then just dump/scoop the ice into a gallon ziplock or another tray to put into your freezer. This thing is awesome and I think it looks great. It fits on most any countertop but is large and it should be for this type of quality. The unit is packaged very securely. It even has a plywood base at the bottom and is bottom heavy to avoid being shipped/delivered/stored upside down (of course you’ll have a dumb dumb put it upside down). The way you have to unbox the unit avoids any thinking of turning it upside down. Please note that if the unit still makes a loud noise and the water reservoir isn’t empty then you may have a faulty machine. We’ve read that if the unit is turned upside down it can damage it. This machine is worth the large price tag and honestly I think it’s a great value for the quality and design of this unit. GE doesn’t make junk. We love love love this ice maker and enjoy the delicious ice it makes. Now go and buy it and start crunching some ice!
