Air-dry completely before reinserting.
Step 2: Wipe Down the Ice Maker Area
Use a damp microfiber cloth to clean:
Ice dispenser chute
Freezer walls near the ice maker
Door gaskets (where dust collects)
Step 3: Check & Replace the Water Filter
Locate your filter (usually in the grille or inside the fridge).
Replace if:
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.
