First thing first: turn off the water supply. You don’t want an accidental indoor pool party. Locate the valve behind the fridge or under the sink. Twist it closed.
Next, unplug the fridge or shut off the dispenser mode. Trust me, nothing screams fun like a surprise spray of old water in your face. Leave it off for at least 15 minutes.
Step 2: Disassemble Like a Pro
Take apart everything you can. The drip tray, the nozzle, the little plastic cover—all of it. Most of these parts snap off or unscrew easily. Check your manual if you’re feeling fancy, but usually, it’s pretty intuitive.
Pop those pieces into a sink full of warm, soapy water. Let them soak while you tackle the main event. This gives the grime a chance to surrender.
