Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off water and power before installing any filtration equipment.

Improvement steps:

  • Install filter: Add an inline water filter suitable for ice makers to reduce minerals and impurities.
  • Descale system: Run a descaling cycle to remove mineral deposits from the evaporator plate.
  • Check water flow: Ensure water flow is not excessively high; follow SMEG's recommendations for supply pressure.
  • Acceptable variation: Some cloudiness is normal with hard water and does not indicate a malfunction.
