Yes, you can safely run a diluted solution of water and white vinegar through a portable countertop ice maker or use it to clean the manual components of a built-in refrigerator ice maker to dissolve hard water mineral scale and calcium deposits. For a countertop ice maker, fill the reservoir with equal parts water and white vinegar and run several cleaning cycles, followed by multiple rinses with fresh water to remove residual vinegar taste. Never pour pure, undiluted vinegar directly into a built-in freezer ice mold tray, as it can damage plastic coatings. You can troubleshoot scaling easily by inspecting water flow. You can verify that your cleaning procedure was successful when running fresh rinse cycles eliminates mineral buildup and produces clean, odor-free ice cubes.
