Refrigerator Cloudy or Discolored Ice Cubes

Green Bluish Cubes:Under rare circumstances, ice cubes may be discolored with a green-bluish color. The cause of this unusual discoloration is often due to a combination of factors: local water, household plumbing, and the accumulation of copper salts in an inactive water supply line which feeds the icemaker. This issue should be resolved by a plumber as soon as possible.

 

 

 

Cloudy Cubes:Dissolved minerals and trapped air are the cause of cloudy cubes. This is normal and not harmful in any way. The cubes freeze so fast that the air and minerals do not have time to dissipate. Using a filtration system or a reverse osmosis system will help somewhat but the cubes will never be completely clear.

 

 

 

Discolored Cubes:Household water supply and plumbing pipes could cause the ice cubes to be discolored. The refrigerator, freezer, or icemaker does not cause discolored ice cubes.

 

All the circumstances mentioned above are the result of either household water supply or the plumbing pipes that feed the water. Since this issue is not caused by the refrigerator, freezer, or icemaker, GE Appliance Service cannot assist in resolving the issue.
