Possible Causes
High mineral content in water, Incomplete flushing after cleaning, Scale flaking from evaporator, Deteriorated internal hoses
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit and close the water supply valve.
- Flush thoroughly: After any cleaning, run multiple ice cycles and discard the ice until cubes are clear.
- Descale evaporator: Perform a full descaling procedure to remove mineral deposits that can flake into ice.
- Use filtered water: Install or replace a water filter, or connect the ice maker to a filtered water source.
- Inspect hoses: Check internal water hoses for discoloration or degradation. Replace any that appear slimy or brittle.
- Monitor improvement: Over several cycles, ice clarity should improve as old water is replaced.
