What Add Water
actually means.
Opal countertop nugget ice makers have no water line; they draw from a reservoir under the ice bin or from a side tank. When Add Water is highlighted, the unit needs more water before it can cycle to make ice or to clean.

What to do when Add Water shows on the ice makerKind of codeWater supply and fill
The ice maker asked for water and got too little, too slowly or none at all, or water kept arriving after the fill should have ended. A closed shutoff, a kinked line, a clogged filter and low house pressure are ruled out before the water inlet valve is replaced or the fill tube is thawed. If water is on the floor, close the supply valve before reading anything on the display.

The electric valve that lets water into the ice maker, tested and replaced when it will not open, opens only partway, or keeps dripping after it should have closed.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from GE Profile's own guidance for Add Water on its ice makers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Remove the ice bin and fill the reservoir with drinking water up to the Max Fill line.
If you use the side tank, check it is full, seated flush with the front of the Opal and on the same level surface.
Straighten the tube between the side tank and the Opal so air bubbles cannot block the flow.
If Add Water stays highlighted with a full reservoir, book a visit.

What not to do
Add Water is not a sign of a leak or a failed pump in itself. It is a level reading, so a full reservoir that still shows the message is the case worth a visit.

Water supply and fill on other makes
Door ice maker
The ice maker that feeds the dispenser on the outside of a door: tucked into an insulated box in the left door of a French door model, or at the top of the freezer side of a side-by-side, with a chute and an auger carrying cubes to your glass.
Freezer ice maker
The ice maker that sits inside the freezer compartment itself, a tray that twists or a mold with a heater and an ejector, dropping cubes into a bin or drawer you open by hand, with no dispenser on the door.
Undercounter ice maker
A built-in residential ice maker that lives under a kitchen, bar or basement counter, making clear cubes or chewable nugget ice on its own cooling system, with a water line in and a gravity drain or a small drain pump out.
In GE Profile's own words
