Possible Causes

High mineral content in water, Incomplete purge during freeze cycle, Scale on evaporator surface, Low water flow causing aeration

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug before internal cleaning.

  • Descale: Run a full descaling cycle with Balay-approved cleaner to remove mineral buildup from the evaporator.
  • Improve filtration: Install or replace the internal water filter to reduce minerals and impurities.
  • Check water flow: Ensure the inlet valve and filter are not restricted, which can introduce air into the water stream.
  • Acceptable variation: Some cloudiness is normal depending on water hardness; focus on taste and odor as primary quality indicators.
