Possible Causes

High mineral content in water, Rapid freezing due to low water volume, Scale buildup on evaporator, Inadequate water filtration

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before descaling.

  • Use filtered water: Connect the ice maker to a filtered water source or use distilled water if the model allows.
  • Descale evaporator: Run a cleaning cycle with a manufacturer‑approved descaling solution to remove mineral deposits.
  • Check water level: Ensure the water reservoir fills to the correct level so cubes freeze more evenly.
  • Repeat cycles: After cleaning, run several cycles and discard the ice until clarity improves.
