Possible Causes

High mineral content in water, Scale flaking from evaporator, Debris in water reservoir, Inadequate filtration

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit and close the water supply before cleaning.

Steps to improve clarity:

  • Descale evaporator: Use a Vestfrost-approved descaler to clean the evaporator plate and water circuit, then rinse thoroughly.
  • Clean reservoir: Drain and clean the water reservoir to remove sediment or particles.
  • Install filtration: If not already present, install an inline water filter rated for ice machines to reduce minerals and particulates.
  • Flush system: After cleaning, run and discard several batches of ice to flush remaining residues.

Note: Some cloudiness is normal with hard water, but heavy particles indicate a need for cleaning and filtration.
