Inspect the auger, the critical areas of the
auger are:

shining. Sometimes an auger will appear
clean when wet, but after it is dry it will be
seen to be stained. Scrub the auger with ice
machine cleaner and hot water.
///////////////////////////WARNING//////////////////////////////
Ice machine cleaner is an acid. Handle it with
extreme care, keep out of the reach of

be replaced. Remove the water seal top half
