What a GE Technician Deals With
On the Opal nugget ice maker, two small sensors at the ice chute entrance detect a full bin and tell the unit when to go into defrost, and they stop working properly when coated with scale. Source: GE Appliances - Opal Ice Maker - Cleaning the Sensor
What GE Says to Check First
- Opal nugget ice maker low or no ice. A blocked ice chute can give a false full-bin signal, so clean the Opal per the manual and make sure the bin is fully inserted. Source: GE Appliances - Opal Ice Maker - Troubleshooting
- New ice maker not making ice. A new ice maker often ships switched off and can take up to 24 hours to get cold enough, and it cycles a few times to purge air before the first fill. Source: GE Appliances - Refrigerator - New Icemaker Not Producing Ice
