It’s older than 6 months
You just installed a new one (flush it!)
Flush the system: Run 3–5 gallons of water through the dispenser until clear.
Step 4: Reset & Wait
Turn the ice maker back on.
Discard the first 1–2 batches of new ice (they may still contain residue).
Store fresh ice in a clean, covered container to avoid odor absorption.
Pro Tips for Crystal-Clear Ice
Use filtered water—even if your fridge has a filter, consider an under-sink system for purer ice.
Clean the ice bin monthly—prevents buildup before it starts.
Keep freezer organized—spills and open food packages increase airborne particles.
Check door seals—worn gaskets let in warm, dusty air that affects ice quality.
