Zanussi Air Entrapment / Mineral Content in Ice

Ice cubes appear cloudy or white instead of clear.

Possible Causes

High mineral content in supply water, Rapid freezing due to very cold evaporator, Insufficient water purge between cycles, Scale buildup on evaporator surface

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Note: Cloudy ice is often a cosmetic issue, not a functional fault.

  • Use filtered water: Install or replace a Zanussi-compatible water filter to reduce minerals and impurities.
  • Descale evaporator: Follow Zanussi's descaling procedure using an approved ice machine cleaner to remove mineral deposits from the evaporator plate.
  • Check purge function: Ensure the unit performs a proper rinse/purge between cycles. If not, inspect the drain valve or pump for correct operation.
  • Monitor results: After cleaning and using filtered water, allow several cycles for ice clarity to improve.
