Amana Refrigerator ice is dirty
If your Amana refrigerator is producing dirty or discolored ice, start with the most likely problem: water sitting in or a disconnected water supply tube can discolor over six to 12 months and shed contamination into the ice. Next, inspect the ice maker tray for a worn or corroded coating that can flake off and leave chunks in the cubes. Less commonly, dirty municipal water from a flushed hydrant or a broken main can temporarily send sediment into your lines, so discard old ice and run a nearby faucet until the water clears. Also check the water filter — an overdue or damaged filter can shed residue and should be replaced about every six months. Fixes range from replacing the water supply tube to swapping the ice maker assembly or the filter, and these are standard ice maker repair tasks. Enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement part and step by step guidance tailored to your refrigerator.
01 - Amana Refrigerator Water Supply Tube
During normal use the water supply tubes will have water flowing through them keeping them clean. If the water supply gets disconnected or water is left in the tube and not used for 6 to 12 months, it can become discolored. If the water at the other faucets in the house is ok and you have replaced the water filter you may need to replace the water tubing to the ice maker to resolve the issue.

02 - Amana Refrigerator Ice Maker Assembly
If the icemaker tray has a coating, the coating may be wearing off. If you are getting pieces or chunks of material stuck in the ice, check the ice maker tray. If the coating on the tray is corroded and flaking off, replace the icemaker.
Highly Likely
03 - Dirty Water Supply
A fire hydrant that was flushed or a broken water main can cause dirty water to enter the home. Since the ice maker uses the same water supplied to the kitchen or bathroom faucets, dirty water can discolor the ice. Discard the old ice and run the water for awhile at the kitchen or bathroom faucet until the water clears up before having the ice maker make new ice.
Less Common
04 - Amana Refrigerator Water Filter
If the ice being dispensed is dirty, it's possible that residue from an old water filter is getting into the water being supplied to the ice maker. Water filters should be replaced every six months for optimum water filtration.
Uncommon But Possible
