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:

  1. Discontinue use of ice.
  2. Clean the ice storage bin by scrubbing the bin with a mixture of the ice maker cleaner and hot water; rinse with hot water.
  3. 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. 
  4. If these steps do not resolve the issue, no further troubleshooting advice is available. Contact Factory Certified Service to schedule an appointment for repair.
