Possible Causes
High mineral content in water, Rapid freezing due to high production setting, Insufficient water filtration, Scale on evaporator affecting freeze pattern
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before descaling.
Steps:
- Use filtered or distilled water: This reduces dissolved minerals that cause cloudiness.
- Descale evaporator: Run a descaling cycle with ice machine cleaner to remove mineral buildup on the evaporator plate.
- Adjust settings: If your Northair model allows, select a larger cube size or slower freeze setting to improve clarity.
Note: Some cloudiness is normal in many consumer ice makers and does not indicate a malfunction.
