Possible Causes

Hard tap water, insufficient water filtration, rapid freezing, scale on evaporator surface

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before descaling.

Steps to improve ice clarity:

  • Use filtered or distilled water: Fill the reservoir with low-mineral water to reduce cloudiness.
  • Clean and descale: Run a cleaning cycle with a vinegar solution to remove mineral deposits from the evaporator and water path.
  • Rinse thoroughly: Flush with clean water and discard the first few batches of ice.
  • Accept limitations: Many countertop ice makers naturally produce somewhat cloudy ice due to freezing method; focus on taste and cleanliness rather than perfect clarity.
