Possible Causes

High mineral content in tap water, Rapid freezing due to very cold evaporator, Air bubbles from water pump turbulence

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before any internal cleaning.

Steps to improve ice clarity:

  • Use filtered water: Switch to filtered or bottled water with lower mineral content.
  • Clean the system: Descale the reservoir, pump, and evaporator with a mild descaling solution to remove mineral buildup.
  • Ensure proper water flow: Make sure the pump is not cavitating (sucking air). Keep the reservoir filled to the proper level.

Note that some cloudiness is normal and not harmful; it is primarily cosmetic.
