How to Keep Your Ice Maker Mold-Free

Why Ice Maker Mold is a Problem

Whether you’re hosting at home near Union Transportation Trail or running a café off Main Street, clean ice is essential. Mold inside your ice maker doesn’t just affect taste—it can also pose health risks. Regular cleaning and upkeep prevent contamination and keep the machine running efficiently.

Tips to Prevent Mold Growth

  1. Regular Cleaning Schedule

    Wipe down interior surfaces every month with a vinegar-water solution or a food-safe cleaner.

  2. Change Filters on Time

    Old filters trap particles and moisture, creating an environment where mold thrives. Replace them as recommended by the manufacturer.

  3. Keep the Freezer Dry

    Excess moisture can lead to mold. Make sure seals are tight and defrost when needed.

  4. Use Fresh Water

    Stagnant water encourages mold growth. If your unit isn’t used daily, flush the system regularly.

  • Homeowners: Prevent foul-smelling ice and extend your appliance’s life.
