Ice has a bad taste or odor

Safety: Unplug the unit before cleaning. Do not use harsh chemicals inside the ice maker.

Steps to improve ice taste:

• Discard old ice: Empty the ice bin and discard any ice with off-odors.
• Clean reservoir and bin: Wash the water reservoir and ice bin with warm water and mild dish soap. Rinse thoroughly.
• Sanitize system: Run a cleaning cycle with a manufacturer-approved ice machine cleaner or a diluted vinegar solution, then flush with several batches of fresh water.
• Check water source: Use filtered or bottled water if your tap water has strong odors or tastes.
• Regular maintenance: Clean the unit every 1–3 months depending on usage and water hardness.
