Frigidaire ice maker ice tastes bad or has a chemical flavor

Safety: Use only food-safe cleaners and follow label directions.

Improve ice taste:

• If the unit is new, discard the first 3–5 batches of ice to flush the system.
• Replace the water filter if installed and older than 6 months.
• Perform a full cleaning and sanitizing cycle using Frigidaire-recommended cleaner, then rinse thoroughly.
• Check that no strong-smelling chemicals or foods are stored near the ice bin, as ice can absorb odors.
• If your tap water has a strong taste, consider using a better filtration system.
