摘要: A refrigerator appliance and methods of operating the same may include a cabinet, an ice making assembly, and a controller. The ice making assembly may be attached to the cabinet and include fluid path downstream of a water supply line, an icemaker along the fluid path, a fluid storage volume in fluid communication with the icemaker, a cleaning cartridge selectively provided along the fluid path between the icemaker the fluid storage volume, and a drain line between the fluid storage volume and the icemaker. The controller may be in operative communication with the ice making assembly and configured to initiate a cleaning operation that includes initiating a flow of water to the fluid storage volume from the water supply line, directing an overspill water flow to the icemaker, guiding water from the icemaker to the cleaning cartridge, motivating a cleaning solution to the icemaker, and opening the drain line.
