How To Clean A Frigidaire Gallery Ice Maker
Cleaning your Frigidaire Gallery Ice Maker is an essential maintenance step to ensure your appliance continues to function efficiently and produce fresh-tasting ice. Follow these simple steps to keep your machine in optimal condition:
-
Turn Off and Unplug: Safety first! Always turn off and unplug your ice maker before any cleaning activity to avoid any mishaps.
-
Remove and Clean the Ice Bin: Carefully take out the ice bin and wash it with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry it completely before reinserting.
-
Descale the Ice Maker: Descaling is crucial to remove mineral build-up. Use a solution of equal parts of water and white vinegar and pour it into the water reservoir. Run a cleaning cycle without ice.
-
Flush and Rinse: After completion of the cleaning cycle, flush the system with clean water at least twice to ensure all cleaning solution residues are removed.
-
Wipe Down Surfaces: With a damp cloth, wipe down external and internal surfaces of the machine to remove any leftover solution and ensure hygiene.
Regular maintenance, roughly every 3-6 months, will prolong the life of your ice maker and keep it running smoothly.
