Ice has a bad taste or odor.

Safety first: Unplug the unit and shut off water before cleaning. Use only food-safe cleaners where specified.

• Step 1 – Discard old ice: Empty the bin completely and discard any ice with off-odors.
• Step 2 – Replace water filter: Install a new GE water filter to remove taste and odor contaminants.
• Step 3 – Clean bin and reservoir: Wash the ice bin, reservoir, and accessible surfaces with warm water and mild dish soap. Rinse thoroughly.
• Step 4 – Sanitize system: Run a cleaning/sanitizing cycle using GE-approved ice maker cleaner and sanitizer, following the instructions carefully.
• Step 5 – Check water source: If odors persist, have your household water tested or install additional filtration.
