How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Use only potable water for the refrigerator.

- Discard old ice: Empty the ice bin completely and wash it with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly before reinstalling.
- Check supply line: If a plastic line is used, consider replacing with a copper or braided line to reduce odor absorption.
