The ice cubes come with white powder

We just bought this fridge from The Brick. It is a floor model with minor surface scratches. That is ok for us.

But when getting ice cubes from the ice despneser, all ice cubes are coated with some type of white powder as we found in the cup. Not usre what it is, we may need to cleaning up before use for any new fridge (the user manual is missing for this floor model).

One more thing is the light bulb is missing in the water despenser, where we can buy one?

Thanks in advance.

Hey there....
The white powder in your ice cubes is the water line to the dispencer,The water in the pipe forms a white layer after some time,almost like the kettle around the aliment,you just have to clean the pipe out,i normaly use some hot water with a bit of vinigar,just make sure you flush the system after wards and there you go....

Hope you get it right...

Wouter.

    My Stainless Steel LG is BRAND NEW but has white powder falling out of the ice maker dispenser. It cant be a build up of anything because it's brand new! So what is the white powder that continues to fall out? Yes, I have a brand new filter on it as well. (And I stopped using the ice maker weeks ago because the ice had a funny taste).

    Wouter, are you saying that I will constantly have to clean this line? I have only had my new refrigerator for about 4 weeks! It is quite upsetting to think I must do this every month for the life of the refrigerator. Hoping I misunderstand, Lol. Thank you for your comment.

Maytag MFI2568AES- ice maker making ice but cannot harvest

Sounds like the thermostat inside the ice maker that allows the heater to come on during harvest cycle is bad. You will need to replace the ice maker.

In the house we just bought there is a copper brown top freezer Frigidaire which says it is a Deluxe 17. Cleaned it and plugged it in. Set freezer unit for "normal:" and refrigerator on...

Freezers only buils up layers of ice after multiple opebing and closing of doors allows fresh air inside, the moisture then freezes out of the air and builds up in layers on the cold surfaces. Note that the more ice that builds up decreases the efectivness of the freezr and thus costs more to run. To test try making ice cubes in atray. The number 1 setting on the fridge will be the warmest setting. Hope this helps.
