Estate Refrigerator ice is dirty
If the ice in your Estate refrigerator looks discolored or has flakes in it, the most likely culprit is the water supply tube that feeds the ice maker: stagnant water sitting in tubing for months can stain and leave residue, so replacing the water supply tube often fixes dirty ice. Next, check the ice maker assembly and tray; factory coatings can corrode and flake off, sending particles into the ice and meaning the ice maker or tray needs replacement. Less commonly, dirty municipal water from a flushed hydrant or broken main can temporarily discolor ice, so discard the old ice and run a kitchen faucet until water clears. Finally, an overdue water filter can shed residue, so replace the filter every six months. If you need parts, enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement water tubing, ice maker assembly, or water filter for your refrigerator and get back to clean, clear ice.
01 - Estate 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 - Estate 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 - Estate 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.
