How do I reset my Opal ice maker?

If your Ice maker does not make ice or has some problem, you can reset it by starting the device after unplugging it for 3-4 hours. Giving it time to cool down and rest helps in resetting the machine.

You can call for customer support and assistance if the product still does not work. 

Where is the sensor on the Opal ice maker?

In the ice maker machine, the sensor is located at the entry point of the ice chute. The ice maker uses two sensors that are placed parallel to each other. 

Why is my Opal ice machine blinking yellow?

If your ice machine is blinking yellow, do not panic, it only means that it has finished cleaning. The pulsating or blinking light signals that the cleaning process is done.

If you notice a solid yellow on your Opal machine, it means the device needs cleaning. The circling yellow lights indicate that the cleaning is in progress. 

What does the white light on my Opal ice maker mean?

The white light on the machine means that the ice bin is full of ice and needs to be removed to make more. It also means that the device is in energy-saving mode or idle mode.

If the white light looks like falling icicles, the device makes the ice. If it turns out slowly falling icicles, the device is in defrosting mode. 

How does the Opal ice maker work?

The product makes chewable ice nuggets. The device compresses the ice flakes from the chilled cylinder into nuggets to get the nugget ice. While compressing the ice flakes, air pockets get trapped inside the nugget, giving it a chewable texture. 

Why is my Opal ice maker not working?

Your ice maker might stop working for a few reasons. One of the common reasons the device stops making ice is some clog or frozen drains. You can drain the water, unplug the device, and restart it again after 3-4 hours. 

If your ice basket is full, the device goes into energy save mode, where the device does not make ice. 

Why is my Opal ice maker in defrost mode?

The ice engine has frozen if you notice that your ice maker is in defrost mode. The device will start the defrosting cycle and start making ice again by going into defrost mode. The ice engine can get frozen when used continuously. 

Conclusion

The innovative WiFi feature on the Opal Ice maker makes it stand out from its competitors. Connecting the device to your phone has never been this easy.

Download the SmartHQ app, create an account and sign in using the password given on the device unit.
