On Opal 2.0 models that take the Opal water filter, a pulsing filter light means the filter has expired or is waiting for its first setup. Holding the filter button starts or resets the filter tracker. GE Profile ice maker display What to do when Filter light pulsing shows on the ice maker ### Kind of code Mode, 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 to No repair If a filter is installed and new, hold the filter button to start the tracker. ### Shows up as Ice Tastes or Smells Bad The ice tastes bad or smells stale, musty, of plastic or of whatever else is in the freezer, even though a glass of tap water tastes fine. ### Make GE Profile GE Profile ice maker repair, including the countertop nugget ice makers that run from a reservoir instead of a water line. ### Source GE Profile Opal 2.0 owner's manual 49-9000075 GE Profile Opal 2.0 models with the optional filter. ## Before you book, in this order. Each step comes from GE Profile's own guidance for Filter light pulsing on its ice makers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit. 01 If a filter is installed and new, hold the filter button to start the tracker. 02 If the filter is old, fit a new Opal filter until it clicks in place, then hold the filter button. 03 Tap the filter button if you only want to hide the status light. 04 If the light keeps pulsing after a reset, 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 pulsing light does not stop ice production by itself. It is a tracker, and it does not test the water that passes through the filter. ## What you may notice with it. The ice maker problems Filter light pulsing tends to arrive with. Answer these at the ice maker before anyone is booked.

If a filter is installed and new, hold the filter button to start the tracker. ### Why does the filter light pulse on a brand-new Opal 2.0? The tracker has not been started yet. Holding the filter button sets it up, and the light then stays steady. ### Which filter fits the Opal 2.0? GE says the Opal Water Filter is the only compatible one, and it replaces the mesh screen in the reservoir. ### Does the Opal 2.0 stop making nugget ice when the filter light pulses? GE describes it only as a filter-life signal. If ice has also slowed, clean or descale the unit and check the filter is seated. --- **[Read on the site: GE Profile Opal 2.0 filter light pulsing](https://icemakerrepair.center/error-codes/ge-profile-filter-light-pulsing/)** **[Book a visit with IceMakerRepair.center](https://icemakerrepair.center/schedule/)**
