Water distribution tube cleaning
When you find the ice cubes are
incompletely formed or the output is
low, the water distribution tube may
be blocked. Turn off the power button,
gently take out the water distribution
tube, locate the holes in the distribution
tube and use a pointed object such as
a toothpick to dredge the holes. Then
put the water distribution tube back to
its original position. If the tube is badly
blocked, clean it as follows:
1. Shut off the water supply
2. Disconnect the water hose from the
distribution tube.
3. Gently take out the distribution tube.
4. With a brush, clean the tube with a
dilute solution of warm water and a
mild detergent such as dishwashing
liquid. After removing the dirt and lint
from the surface, rinse the tube with
clean water.
5. Replace the distribution tube.
6. Reconnect the water supply.
Ice-making system cleaning
Minerals that are removed from the
water during the freezing cycle will
eventually form a hard, scaly deposit in
the water system. Cleaning the system
regularly helps remove the mineral scale
buildup. How often to clean the system
depends upon how hard your water is
or how effective your filtration may be.
With hard water of 15 to 20 grains/gal.
(4 to 5 grains/ liter), you may need to
clean the system as often as once every
6 months.
