How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before cleaning or adjusting internal components.
- Step 1 – Replace water filter: Use a GE filter rated for improving clarity and reducing minerals.
- Step 2 – Descale evaporator: Run a full descaling cycle with GE ice maker cleaner to remove mineral deposits.
- Step 3 – Check water distribution: Ensure water flows evenly over the evaporator plate. Clean any clogged distribution holes or channels.
- Step 4 – Consider water softening: If your water is very hard, consider installing a whole-house or point-of-use water softener.
