Clean the ice bin monthly—prevents buildup before it starts.
Keep freezer organized—spills and open food packages increase airborne particles.
Check door seals—worn gaskets let in warm, dusty air that affects ice quality.
❓ When to Worry
Gray ice is almost always harmless—but contact a technician if you notice:
Slimy texture or foul odor → possible mold or bacterial growth
Persistent discoloration after cleaning → internal ice maker malfunction
