Cause:

Troubleshooting:

1. Verify no service messages, icons, or error codes appear.
2. For Classic (BI) and Designer (IT, IC) models, make sure the water filter is not expired.
   • For other models, addition of an in-line water filter may reduce discoloration.
   • If it is already in place, make sure the in-line water filter is not expired.
