Ice maker indicates a water quality or scale error, reduced ice output and cloudy cubes

Safety first: Unplug the unit and turn off the water supply before descaling.

Steps to check:

• Inspect evaporator plate: Look for white or chalky deposits on the stainless plate. Scale reduces heat transfer and ice release.
• Run cleaning cycle: Use a Grundig-approved ice maker cleaner or food-safe descaler. Follow the user manual for the cleaning program, ensuring all solution is flushed before making ice again.
• Replace water filter: If your Grundig model has an internal filter, replace it according to the schedule or sooner in hard water areas.
• Check water quality sensor: Some models use a conductivity sensor in the reservoir. Clean the sensor probes with a soft brush. If the error persists, replace the sensor.

Tip: In very hard water regions, consider installing an external softener or filter to protect the ice maker.
