If you find black or gray specks in your ice cubes, have a look at the ice cube tray. If the protective coating is peeling away, the most economical solution is to completely replace the ice maker.

It’s supposed to be a non-stick coating, like Teflon, but my guess is that the actual coating is: anything they have on hand to ship it fast and cheap. It deteriorates in cold, so it’s a terrible replacement for the temperature range it’s supposed to operate at. I see this as a long-term health hazard, basically being poisoned by God only knows what chemical lining is in your ice maker. It feel that it’s sold to us defective, and therefore fraud. Who wants to join a class action?

I have this problem and it is definitely the surface of the ice maker peeling off. This will be the 4th icemaker in 10 years. Sorry to hear there will be no fix for this. I have ordered new ones from sites on the internet, not from Sears.

Might as well buy the cheapest countertop ice maker you can find. I'm on my third ice maker in 5 years! The coating has come off on everyone of them, no matter the price. Am currently looking to buy my 4th one.

Changed one out today that is 2 years old and that coating is slowly coming off and the new one i had to replace it looked like it already had rusty spots so it'll fail too. Fixing to tell Electrolux that when they call back and tell me its happening again i will have to have a refund.

It could also be a washer in the shut off valve downstream from the ice maker. Washers eventually disintegrate, and the sediment will end up in the ice. If it's rubber or neoprene pieces, they are harmless. Proving what it is, or where it came from is difficult. Do you know anybody in a lab who can analyze the specks? You could also put a small in-line filter in the 1/4" feed line to the fridge.

I have had the same issue, and it is definitely a coating that is peeling off of the tray. It may be a Teflon-like coating that prevents the pieces from sticking to the tray. Sometimes it covers almost the entire curved surface of the piece of ice. This will not get better, and the only solution is to replace the icemaker.

A simple flashlight inspection of the ice maker door/flap showed the black foam weatherstripping is in tatters. I’m googling for a replacement now…
