How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit and close the water supply. Use only food-safe descaling agents.

  • Run descaling cycle: Follow the Amica manual to run a full descaling program with an approved cleaner.
  • Manual cleaning: Apply descaler to the evaporator, sump, and water lines as directed, then rinse thoroughly with clean water.
  • Install filtration: Consider adding an external water filter or softener to reduce future scale buildup.
  • Schedule regular maintenance: Clean and descale every 3–6 months depending on water hardness.
