Ice maker produces cloudy ice or white flakes in the ice.

Safety first: Unplug the unit before descaling.

Steps to reduce cloudiness and flakes:

• Descale system: Fill the reservoir with a mixture of water and white vinegar (or a food‑safe ice maker descaler) and run a cleaning cycle.
• Clean evaporator: Gently wipe the evaporator fingers with a soft cloth soaked in vinegar to remove visible scale.
• Flush thoroughly: Drain and refill with fresh water, then run several ice cycles, discarding the ice until flakes disappear.
• Use filtered water: Switch to filtered or softened water to reduce mineral content.

When to call a professional: Severe internal scaling that cannot be reached may require disassembly by a technician.
