Refrigerator - Black Particles in Ice Cubes

Seeing black particles in ice cubes is not always an indication that something is wrong with the Refrigerator. Black particles could be caused by harmless carbon dust coming from a new water filter. Of course, it could be an indication that particles are in the water supply. We understand the concern and are providing a couple of things to consider if you see black particles in your ice cubes.

Noticing Black Particles in Ice Cubes

If there are black specks or particles in your ice cubes, consider the following:

• Bad icemaker mold body. Icemaker would need to be replaced.
• On water filter models, a new water filter can produce carbon dust.
  • To prevent this from happening after you change the filter, run at least 1.5 gallons of water through the Refrigerator water dispenser. This will flush out the filter.
