Ice maker interior or bin shows signs of mold, slime, or algae.

Safety first: Unplug the unit and wear gloves. Avoid inhaling mold spores.

• Remove ice and parts: Empty the bin and remove any removable trays or baffles.
• Clean surfaces: Wash all affected areas with warm water and detergent, then scrub with a soft brush.
• Sanitize: Apply a food‑safe sanitizer or diluted bleach solution (per manual) to kill remaining organisms. Rinse thoroughly.
• Improve drainage: Ensure the drain is clear so water does not pool in the bin.
• Regular maintenance: Implement a regular cleaning schedule (e.g., monthly) to prevent recurrence.
