Strong plastic, chemical, or burnt smell coming from the ice maker during operation.

Safety first: If you smell burning plastic or see smoke, unplug the unit immediately and do not use it until inspected.

Step-by-step:

• New unit smell: For a new G3 Ferrari ice maker, run several cycles with clean water and discard the ice to remove manufacturing odors.
• Clean water path: Thoroughly clean the water reservoir, evaporator, and ice basket with mild detergent and rinse well.
• Inspect for overheating: Remove the cover and check the control PCB and wiring for discoloration or burnt spots.

When to call a technician: Any sign of burnt components or persistent burning smell requires professional service and possible PCB or wiring replacement.
