Ice appears cloudy or white instead of clear.

Safety: No special electrical safety beyond normal precautions; unplug if accessing internal parts.

• Improve filtration: Install or replace a high-quality water filter compatible with Hotpoint to reduce minerals.
• Use different water source: If possible, connect to a lower-mineral water supply.
• Check fill stream: Ensure the fill tube directs water smoothly into the reservoir to minimize air bubbles.

Note that some cloudiness is normal and not a functional defect.
