Bad water & ice cube taste (by 5 users)

posted by bethaud on Mar 02, 2008


Our Kitchenaid Superba KSRG25FKBL15 has bad tasting water and ice cubes. We replaced the copper tubing which delivers the water to the fridge and that didn't help. We replaced the copper tubing again with plastic tubing...no better. Any suggestions? Our tap water doesn't taste this bad.

Yes, we regularly replace the filter as well and that doesn't seem to have any impact. We won't be buying an ice maker or water in the door model next time. Thanks though.

What do we do to get rid of the bad taste from the ice cubes in our side by side Kenmore refrigerator/freezer?

My ice tastes bad, the water does too. However the taste is more of a sour taste. Almost like soured clothes from a washing machine. I didn't really notice it until after I changed the filter. About a week later I used the door dispenser to get a glass of water. I noticed tiny bubbles and a tangy taste. Then the ice began to have a sour smell and taste.

I have cleaned the dispenser. I'm cleaning the entire freezer right now. I hope cleaning the freezer will fix the problem, but doubt it. But it needs it anyhow. I did have a beer blow up in there, but I don't see how that would affect the water. I do regularly dump the ice.

I think I might buy a new filter next and clean the filter receptacle really well -somehow. I did notice that smell when I changed the filter the first time...

We too are having the same problem, but only with the ice maker, the water tastes fine. The ice tastes almost like plastic!! I know it is not the copper tubing because the ice from the replaced refrigerator tasted fine. The ice machine is a whirlpool ice maker in the kitchenaid refrigerator. Would sure like someone to let me know if there is a solution.

My water tasted like plastic and I always buy filters when they should be replaced. I stopped drinking the water because I hated the taste. I would get ice out of the refrigerator and then get bottled water. Since we were not drinking the water, it was stored in the plastic container in the refrigerator which was making it taste even more like plastic. I decided to take a pitcher and fill it up three times and dump the water. Once I did that, the water did not taste like plastic anymore. The ice was never a problem for me. I hope this helps.

We have the same problem; it started when we moved to a house with well water. Now we buy ice and dump it in the ice maker and drink bottled water. All this money for a side by side with water and ice despenser for nothing! We also have front loader washer smell. Is it well water? I miss the city...
