Possible Causes

High mineral content in water, Inadequate water purge during cycle, Low water pressure, Scale buildup on evaporator

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Disconnect power and water before descaling.

  • Check water quality: If possible, use filtered or softened water within Electrolux guidelines to reduce minerals.
  • Clean and descale: Run a full cleaning cycle with ice machine cleaner to remove scale from the evaporator and water path.
  • Verify water pressure: Ensure supply pressure meets specifications. Low pressure can reduce purge effectiveness.
  • Inspect purge function: Observe that the unit performs a proper purge/drain between cycles. If not, inspect the control board and drain valve/pump.
