Yes, it is completely normal and expected for water to remain sitting inside the ice maker mold tray during the active freezing phase of an automated production cycle. However, if you plan to turn off the ice maker or leave your home empty for an extended vacation, leaving standing water sitting stagnant in the mold tray or storage bin for weeks can lead to mineral scale buildup, algae growth, and unpleasant odors. You can troubleshoot hygiene easily by inspecting the mold. You can verify that your maintenance is proper when emptying the ice bin, drying out the mold tray, and turning off the ice maker switch before long absences prevents mold proliferation, keeping your appliance clean and fresh for when you return.
