Possible Causes

High mineral content in water, Incomplete freeze cycle, Scale on evaporator surface, Poor water circulation

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before descaling.

Water quality and cleaning:

  • Cloudy ice is often due to dissolved minerals. Install or replace a water filter to reduce hardness.
  • Descale the evaporator and water system with ice machine cleaner to ensure smooth freezing surfaces.

Operation:

  • Ensure the unit is not in a very warm environment that shortens freeze times.
  • Verify that the water pump (if used in your model) is circulating water evenly over the evaporator.
