Benefits of Cleaning Your Ice Maker

why should you clean your ice makerCleaning the ice maker regularly helps ensure the health and safety of those who consume the ice.

For one thing, it helps prevent the accumulation of grime residue inside the machine, which can contaminate the ice and pose serious health risks.

Over time, mineral and limescale residue can build up inside the machine, affecting its functionality and reducing the quality of ice produced.

This is where ACTIVE Ice Machine Cleaner comes in.

It’s specially formulated to clean the internal components, prevent premature wear, and eliminate the build-up of mineral and limescale deposits that can otherwise hinder the machine’s efficiency.

How to Clean Your Ice Maker with ACTIVE

Preparing the Ice Machine

The first thing that you want to do is prepare your ice maker. This involves emptying the machine, removing any remaining water or ice, and adding the cleaning solution.

Running Cleaning Cycles

active ice maker cleaner solution liquidOnce your ice machine is prepared, it’s time to run a few cleaning cycles with ACTIVE.

Running these cycles is crucial when it comes to eliminating mineral and limescale residue from the internal components of your machine.

For the best results, run at least two cleaning cycles with ACTIVE.

Each cleaning cycle will range between 20-45 minutes, depending on the size and model of your ice machine.

Wiping Down Interior Areas

After running the clean cycle, wipe down the interior surfaces of your ice maker.

This includes the tin-plated evaporators, the chilled water canister, and all surfaces of the ice machine like the ice bin and dispenser.

To properly clean these areas, follow these steps:

  1. Dampen a soft microfiber cloth with a warm water solution
  2. Wipe down the interior, making sure to remove any residual cleaning solution

Remember, it’s always safer to power off the machine before wiping down the interior.

Maintaining Your Ice Machine Between Cleanings

Regular maintenance will not only ensure optimal performance but will also extend the lifespan of your machine.

From changing the water filter to inspecting the interior for mineral buildup, there are several steps you can take to keep your ice machine in top shape.

Changing the Water Filter

how to improve ice taste by cleaning the machineChanging the filter regularly will ensure that you have clean, fresh water for ice production. Not only will it enhance the taste of the ice but it will also remove any impurities.

Generally speaking, it’s best to change the water filter in your ice maker once every six months, or as per the manufacturer’s recommendation.

Inspecting for Mineral Buildup

Minerals such as calcium and magnesium present in water can accumulate over time, causing scale deposits on different parts of your ice machine.

By inspecting your machine regularly, you’ll be able to eliminate this buildup, ensuring optimal performance and longevity of your machine.

Scheduling Regular Cleaning

Regular cleanings with ACTIVE will not only ensure the production of fresh and clean-tasting ice but will also maintain sanitary conditions by eliminating harmful contaminants and scale build-up.

The frequency of cleaning can depend on various factors such as usage, water hardness, and environmental conditions.

As a general rule, however, it’s best to clean the ice maker with ACTIVE once every two months.

Troubleshooting Common Ice Machine Issues

Certain issues may arise despite regular maintenance. These can range from low ice production and unpleasant-tasting ice to leaking water.

Whether it’s changing the filter, cleaning the machine with ACTIVE Ice Machine Cleaner, or simply adjusting the temperature settings, there are several ways to troubleshoot these common issues.

Low Ice Production

One common problem with ice makers is low ice production.

For example, it can be caused by dirty components. A clogged water filter can also contribute to the problem.

If the filter is clogged, it can impede water flow, resulting in a notable decrease in ice production.

In cases like that, it’s recommended that you inspect the filter and, if necessary, replace it to facilitate adequate water flow and maximize ice production.

Unpleasant Tasting Ice

best ice machine cleaner active

Another common issue with ice machines is unpleasant tasting ice. This could be due to mineral buildup in the machine or a dirty filter.

Minerals like calcium and magnesium, which are naturally present in clean water, can also accumulate in the machine, causing the ice to have a metallic or disagreeable taste.

Not only that but a contaminated filter can also affect the taste of ice.

Leaking Water

Leaking water is another issue that you might encounter with your ice machine.

This could indicate a loose connection or a damaged component inside the machine.

In cases like that, you’ll want to conduct a thorough inspection of the water lines.

Make sure there aren’t any loose connections and that everything is properly tightened.
