Possible Causes

Dirty water reservoir, Biofilm in circulation lines, Old or contaminated water supply, Lack of regular cleaning

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the ice maker before cleaning. Do not use harsh chemicals not approved for food-contact surfaces.

  • Empty and clean reservoir: Discard all water and ice. Wash the reservoir with warm water and mild dish soap, then rinse thoroughly.
  • Sanitize system: Run a cleaning cycle if your Weasy model supports it, using a manufacturer-approved ice machine cleaner. Otherwise, circulate a diluted vinegar solution, then flush with several batches of fresh water.
  • Clean bin and surfaces: Wipe the ice bin, evaporator area, and distribution parts with a food-safe sanitizer.
  • Use filtered water: Connect to a clean water source or install an inline filter to improve taste.
