What Descale light
actually means.
Opal 2.0 Ultra models count hours of ice making, and the Descale light turns on after 100 hours. Holding the Clean button starts a descale cycle.

What to do when Descale light shows on the ice makerKind of codeMode, not a failure
Something the ice maker was switched into, often without anyone noticing, rather than something that broke: ice turned off from the panel or by the wire arm lifted while reaching into the bin, a control lock, a Sabbath setting, a cleaning cycle still running, a reminder that the water filter is due. No part has worn out, and the ice maker's own buttons or arm put it right.
Usually leads toNo repair
Drain the Opal and prepare the descaling solution as the manual describes.
Shows up asNugget Ice Maker Not Making Nugget Ice
A nugget ice maker not making ice runs and hums but drops nothing, makes wet slush instead of crisp pellets, or stops after a few batches with a light on.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from GE Profile's own guidance for Descale light on its ice makers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Drain the Opal and prepare the descaling solution as the manual describes.
Hold the Clean button to start the descale cycle.
Rinse and refill with drinking water before making ice again.
If the light stays on after a full cycle, book a visit.
Cleared?
The ice maker is filling and dropping cubes again and no part was needed. If the same code returns during the next harvest, or water shows up on the floor again, book it as a new problem.
What not to do
The Descale light is not a failure report. It is a counter, and hard water may call for descaling before it lights.
What you may
notice with it.
The ice maker problems Descale light tends to arrive with. Answer these at the ice maker before anyone is booked.

Mode, not a failure 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
The Descale light turns ON after 100 hours of ice making.

Still showing Descale light?
Book with the code or the blink pattern written exactly as the ice maker shows it, the full model number, and whether there is any water on the floor — when there is a code, that is where the diagnosis starts.
