Miele ice maker producing ice with bad taste or odor

Safety: Disconnect power and turn off water if removing components.

• Discard old ice: Empty the ice bin completely and discard all existing ice.
• Clean bin and chute: Wash the ice bin and chute with warm water and mild dish soap. Rinse thoroughly and dry before reinstalling.
• Flush water line: Disconnect the supply line at the back and flush several liters of water into a bucket to clear stagnant water.
• Replace filter: If an external filter is used, replace it according to schedule or sooner if taste issues occur.
• Run several batches: Allow the ice maker to produce and discard 2–3 full bins of ice before judging taste again.

Note: Avoid using harsh chemicals or scented cleaners inside the ice compartment.
