Green Residue in Icemaker After Cleaning
Topics:
- After cleaning the icemaker with the ice maker cleaner there is a green liquid in the ice bin
- What should be used to clean a green liquid from the bottom of an undercounter ice maker?
Answer:
Green liquid in the ice bin after running the cleaning cycle could be attributed to a number of factors, such as the frequency of cleaning, color of the cleaner, scale build-up, or copper corrosion of the water supply line.
Troubleshooting:
- Discontinue use of ice.
- Clean the ice storage bin by scrubbing the bin with a mixture of the ice maker cleaner and hot water; rinse with hot water.
- If green residue is still present after cleaning the ice storage bin, it may be caused by home water supply issues. Consult a local plumber to further diagnose and repair the issue.
- If these steps do not resolve the issue, no further troubleshooting advice is available. Contact Factory Certified Service to schedule an appointment for repair.
