Possible Causes

High mineral content in water, Inadequate water purge, Scale on evaporator surface, Incorrect water level

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug before internal cleaning.

  • Use filtered water: Connect the ice maker to a water filter to reduce minerals and air.
  • Descale evaporator: Run a descaling cycle to remove mineral buildup that disrupts clear freezing.
  • Verify water level: Ensure the water level sensor and float are clean so the correct amount of water is used each cycle.
  • Accept normal variation: Some cloudiness is normal with hard water and does not indicate a malfunction.
