Entrained Air / Mineral Content in Ice
Ice appears cloudy or white instead of clear.

Possible Causes
High mineral content in water, inadequate water purge, scale on the evaporator surface, or an incorrect water level.
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug before internal cleaning.
- Use filtered water: Connect the ice maker to a water filter to reduce minerals and air.
- Descale evaporator: Run a descaling cycle to remove mineral buildup that disrupts clear freezing.
- Verify water level: Ensure the water level sensor and float are clean so the correct amount of water is used each cycle.
- Accept normal variation: Some cloudiness is normal with hard water and does not indicate a malfunction.
