Possible Causes
Hard water supply, Scale build-up on evaporator and water path, No recent descaling
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug before descaling.
- 1. Use filtered water: If possible, fill the reservoir with filtered or softened water to reduce mineral content.
- 2. Descale system: Drain the unit and fill with a descaling solution suitable for ice makers. Run a cleaning cycle or operate for 15–20 minutes, then drain.
- 3. Clean evaporator: Wipe the evaporator plate and water distribution channels with a cloth soaked in descaler to remove visible scale.
- 4. Rinse thoroughly: Rinse with multiple reservoirs of clean water, discarding all ice produced during rinsing.
- 5. Regular maintenance: Descale every 1–3 months depending on water hardness.
