Anyone w/ a GE Opal ice maker know how to keep the ice cold?

Sorry to say friend, but I believe that particular model does not keep the ice cold. Reading the FAQ and manual, I found a bit about "it does not keep ice frozen in the ice bin". If you want to keep said ice, you likely have to move it to a freezer after it comes out.

I have notice few ice makers; mine, friend, neighbors; do not keep them cold enough to solidify. We make ice, then bag or bowl it into a real freezer

Ice makers only make ice...they don't store it. Unfortunately, you have to bag it up and put it in your freezer to keep it.

It doesn’t, when the ice melts it drops into the tank to be refrozen into ice. It’s a cycle that doesn’t stop

Not sure if we have a different model but ours stays frozen. Over time it melds into a ball of harder ice, but still usable chunks. Maybe it’s a different year?

That how it’s supposed to work. It keeps making ice through the day from the water in the tank and the water from the ice melt. Just let it run through the day. That’s what I do.

I know this post is old but adding a fan next to the air filter did wonders for my 1.0
