Possible Causes

High mineral content in water, insufficient purge/drain cycles, scaled evaporator surface, low water temperature differential

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Unplug the unit before descaling.

  • Check water quality: If using hard water, consider installing a water softener or filtration system upstream of the ice maker.
  • Descale evaporator: Use an approved ice machine cleaner to remove mineral deposits from the evaporator plate and water system.
  • Verify drain function: Ensure the drain pump and hose are working so that concentrated mineral water is removed each cycle.
  • Run multiple cycles: After cleaning, discard the first few batches of ice to flush residual minerals.
