Gaggenau Refrigerator ice is dirty
If the ice from your Gaggenau refrigerator is coming out discolored or full of flakes, the most likely culprits are easy to check and fix. Start with the water supply tube to the ice maker — if it was disconnected or sat full of water unused for months the inside can stain and pass that discoloration into the ice, so replacing the tubing often solves the problem. Next check the ice maker tray or assembly; a worn coating can flake off and leave bits in the cubes, so swapping the ice maker assembly fixes that contamination. Less commonly, a temporary issue with the municipal water supply can introduce sediment, so discard old ice and run a faucet until the water runs clear. Finally, residue from an overdue or old water filter can tint the ice, so replace the filter every six months. If you need parts, enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement ice maker parts, water tubing, or filters for your refrigerator and get back to clean ice fast.
01 - Gaggenau 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 - Gaggenau 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 - Gaggenau 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.
