How To Clean A Frigidaire Ice Maker

What You’ll Need

Before you get started, you’ll need a few things. First, you’ll need a container to hold the ice while you clean the ice maker. You’ll also need a soft cloth, warm water, and a mild cleaning solution. We recommend using a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water. You may also want to have a toothbrush or small brush on hand to help scrub away any stubborn dirt or debris.

Step 1: Turn Off the Ice Maker

The first step in cleaning your Frigidaire ice maker is to turn it off. This will prevent it from making any more ice while you’re cleaning it. You can usually find the on/off switch on the control panel of your ice maker.

Step 2: Empty the Ice Bin

Next, you’ll need to empty the ice bin. You can either dump the ice into a container or simply let it melt. If you choose to let it melt, be sure to place a towel or other absorbent material under the bin to prevent any water from spilling onto your floor.

Step 3: Remove the Ice Maker Parts

Now it’s time to remove the ice maker parts. Start by removing the ice bin and any other removable parts, such as the ice scoop and water reservoir. Be sure to read your Frigidaire ice maker’s instruction manual for specific instructions on how to remove these parts.

Step 4: Clean the Ice Bin

Using warm water and a mild cleaning solution, clean the ice bin thoroughly. Be sure to scrub away any dirt or debris that may have accumulated on the bottom or sides of the bin. Rinse the bin with clean water and dry it with a soft cloth.

Step 5: Clean the Ice Maker Parts

Next, clean the other removable parts of your Frigidaire ice maker. Use the same cleaning solution and a soft cloth to clean the ice scoop and water reservoir. Rinse them with clean water and dry them with a soft cloth.

Step 6: Clean the Ice Maker Unit

Now it’s time to clean the ice maker unit itself. Using a soft cloth and warm water, wipe down the inside of the ice maker. Be sure to get into all the nooks and crannies to remove any dirt or debris. If you encounter any stubborn dirt or debris, use a toothbrush or small brush to help scrub it away.

Step 7: Clean the Ice Maker Evaporator

The ice maker evaporator is the part of the ice maker that freezes the water into ice. It’s important to keep this part clean to ensure that your ice maker is working properly. To clean the evaporator, use a soft cloth and warm water to wipe it down. If you encounter any stubborn dirt or debris, use a toothbrush or small brush to help scrub it away.

Step 8: Reassemble the Ice Maker

Now that you’ve cleaned all the parts of your Frigidaire ice maker, it’s time to put everything back together. Be sure to follow the instruction manual to ensure that you’re putting everything back in the right place.
