Ice has a bad taste or odor (chemical, plastic, or musty).

Safety first: Unplug the unit and drain all water before cleaning. Use only food‑safe cleaners.

• Discard old ice: Empty the ice bin completely.
• Clean reservoir and bin: Wash with warm water and mild dish soap, then rinse thoroughly.
• Descale system: Run a cleaning cycle with a Camry‑approved ice maker cleaner or food‑grade citric acid, following the manual.
• Flush with fresh water: Rinse the system by running at least one full cycle and discarding the first batch of ice.
• Check water source: If taste persists, test the household water or use a filtered supply.
