Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit and close the water supply before cleaning.

  • Empty and clean reservoir: Remove all water from the tank. Wash with warm water and a mild, food-safe cleaner. Rinse thoroughly.
  • Sanitize water path: Run a cleaning solution recommended by Indesit (or a food-safe ice maker cleaner) through the system, then flush with several full cycles of fresh water.
  • Replace water filter: If your model has an inline or internal filter, replace it according to the schedule or sooner if taste issues occur.
  • Check household water: Taste the tap water feeding the unit. If it has an odor, consider installing a whole-house or under-sink filter.
