Ice tastes bad or has an unusual odor.

Safety first: No electrical work is required; focus on cleaning and water quality.

Steps:

• Replace water filter: Install a new Samsung water filter if older than 6 months.
• Discard old ice: Empty the ice bucket completely and wash it with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly before reinstalling.
• Clean interior: Wipe down the ice room and freezer interior with a solution of baking soda and water to remove odors.
• Check water supply: If the household water has a strong taste or odor, consider adding a whole-house filter or contacting your water provider.
