Ice has a bad taste or odor, even though cubes look clear.

Safety: Unplug the unit and shut off water before cleaning. Use only food-safe cleaners approved for ice machines.

• Replace filter: If equipped, replace the water filter cartridge according to the schedule or sooner if taste issues occur.
• Clean sump and bin: Drain the unit and clean the water sump, ice bin, and all accessible surfaces with an ice maker cleaner or a mild bleach solution (follow manufacturer dilution guidelines). Rinse thoroughly.
• Flush supply line: Disconnect the inlet line and flush several liters of water through it before reconnecting.
• Discard first batches: After cleaning, discard the first 2–3 bins of ice to ensure all cleaner is removed.
