How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before descaling.

  • Step 1 – Change water source: Use filtered or bottled water with lower mineral content.
  • Step 2 – Descale evaporator: Run a descaling cycle with white vinegar and water or a manufacturer-approved cleaner to remove mineral deposits from the evaporator plate.
  • Step 3 – Rinse thoroughly: Flush the system with multiple reservoirs of clean water, discarding all ice until the vinegar or cleaner smell is gone.
  • Step 4 – Regular maintenance: Repeat cleaning every 1–3 months depending on water hardness.
