How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power and water before descaling.

  • Descale evaporator: Use a GE-recommended ice maker cleaner or nickel-safe scale remover. Follow the product instructions carefully.
  • Rinse thoroughly: After cleaning, run multiple rinse cycles to ensure no cleaner remains in the system.
  • Install or replace filter: Use a GE water filter designed for ice makers to reduce minerals and improve clarity.
  • Consider water softening: In very hard water areas, a whole-house or point-of-use softener may be needed.
