Visible corrosion or rust on internal metal components and in the ice bin.

Safety: Disconnect power and water. Do not consume ice that appears contaminated with rust or debris.

Steps:

• 1. Clean affected areas: Use a non-abrasive pad and Sub-Zero-approved cleaner to remove surface rust from stainless components.
• 2. Replace severely corroded parts: Components such as the ice bin, screws, or brackets that are heavily corroded should be replaced.
• 3. Improve water quality: Install appropriate filtration or treatment to reduce corrosive elements in the water.
• 4. Avoid harsh chemicals: Use only cleaners recommended by Sub-Zero to prevent damage to protective finishes.
