What Time to Clean light means

On the GE Profile 15-inch undercounter clear ice machine UCC15 (Gourmet Clear Ice, UCC15NJII and UCC15NPRII), the yellow Time to Clean light is a maintenance reminder. It comes on after 6 months of use and stays on until the system is cleaned. Clear ice depends on clean water paths, and mineral buildup can cloud the ice or slow the cycle, so the light is worth acting on.

Common causes of Time to Clean light

Six months of use have passed
Mineral buildup in the ice-making system
Cleaning not yet run

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Clean the ice making system as described in the Care and Cleaning section. 2. Let the clean cycle finish without interruption. 3. Check that the light goes out afterward. 4. Discard the first batch of ice made after cleaning.

! Why to stop there

If the light stays on after a complete clean, the cleaning did not finish or the control needs a check.
Cloudy ice or slow harvests after cleaning suggest heavier scale or a water supply issue.
We descale and test, and we quote in writing before any repair.

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.
