Great ice but too squeaky
on December 17, 2025
Posted by: MJ5522
Love the ice, hate the noise. This is a great product except that despite sanitizing and descaling, this device makes squeaking noises. Even got a replacement through warranty and same issue started again within 2 weeks. I guess it’s a design flaw.

We would like to assist and gather some more information. A member of our team will be reaching out to you via email. Please respond at your earliest convenience.
We would like to help. When the Opal unit is in need of defrosting, it will start to squeak as ice starts to build up around the mechanisms. The defrost cycle is automatic and will take 10 to 45 minutes. We recommend reviewing the article from our website below to help with this.

In heaven!
on December 11, 2025
Posted by: Kris Tal
I bought this icemaker after one year of frustration with the cheap one I had previously. I cannot even begin to say how grateful I am. Easy to install and run. Super quiet. Generates amazing ice. And somehow the ice doesn’t seem to melt as fast in the container, so the compressor goes on far less often than my old one. I’m in heaven!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Loud noises
on October 25, 2025
Posted by: Sue182
from Texas
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well I finally bit the bullet and purchased this ice maker. Took the first one back for an exchange because of the noise level, it squealed so very loud. The second one did the same thing after just two weeks. VERY loud. Then I contacted GE and they were able to ship a new ice maker; I sent the second machine direct to them (GE). Well two weeks later the ‘new’ 3rd machine is making the same squealing noise, and it already wants me to sanitize the machine. We are not happy with our decision to purchase this ice maker. We love this ice nuggets and how fast it produces the ice we just don’t love the noise this machine makes especially at 2:30 AM.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Response from geappliances.comBy Jonathon, GE_Appliances, October 27, 2025
We are sorry to hear about your Opal's needing to be replaced. We'd like to help go over the sounds you are noticing.
When the Opal is in need of defrosting, it may start to squeak as ice starts to build up around the mechanisms. The sound you are hearing might be the defrost cycle going on, it is automatic and takes around 10 to 45 minutes.
You can view a list of normal sounds here: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=35276

Disappointed
on September 26, 2025
Posted by: Piper1946
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sadly this is my second one only because the first I would have given 10 stars. This one 2. GE replaced only to now have one that makes strange noises on and off. Very disappointed.
Response from geappliances.comBy Adrian, GE_Appliances, September 29, 2025
We are sorry that this replacement Opal is creating unusual sounds. We see that you are working with our team, and we advise you to continue doing so to get this issue resolved.

Good Ice maker
on September 19, 2025

from N.C.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great ice maker except for the filter. It is a piece of junk. Didn’t last 3 weeks. Took it out and put the screen in and it works fine now.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great ice, easy to use once set up
on September 11, 2025
Posted by: ZachAJ
from New York, NY
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works extremely well. Takes some time to correctly set up and sanitize (and rinse!), but once it's done it makes the best ice in 10 minutes flat.
Less noisy than I thought it would be based on the other reviews -- yes you can hear it, but it's quieter than an air fryer.
I would recommend this to a friend!
