Possible Causes

High mineral content in water, insufficient purge during freeze cycle, scaled evaporator, low water temperature

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before internal cleaning.

  • Use filtered water: Install or replace a water filter compatible with your Maytag ice maker to reduce minerals.
  • Descale evaporator: Run a cleaning cycle to remove scale from the evaporator plate.
  • Check purge function: Ensure the unit is completing purge cycles; if not, the control board or valve may need service.
  • Acceptable variation: Some cloudiness is normal with certain water supplies and does not indicate a malfunction.
