How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power and close the water supply. Discard all existing ice.
- Clean the bin: Remove the ice storage bin if possible. Wash with warm water and mild detergent, then rinse thoroughly. Sanitize with a food‑safe sanitizer.
- Clean water reservoir and lines: Run a full cleaning cycle using Gram‑approved ice maker cleaner. Follow with multiple rinse cycles to remove any cleaner residue.
- Replace water filter (if equipped): If your Gram ice maker has an inline or internal water filter, replace it according to the schedule or sooner if taste issues occur.
- Check water source: If the household water has strong odors, consider installing a dedicated filtration system.
