Hello, I have a Kenmore side-by-side refrig, model 10657562790, which is about 10 yrs old. We noticed the water coming out of it tastes bad and had it flushed overnight with a mild chlorine solution but it didn't help. The frig doesn't have a filter, so nothing to change there.
Is it possible to replace the internal tank and all the water lines, assuming that is where my problem lies? I have an RO system that serves the frig, and I know that the water coming into it is fresh and clean tasting.
Thanks,
T
My Kenmore model # 9515581 began dispensing mildew tasting water a couple weeks. ago. The water looks cloudy and yellow. The water to the house is fine. We have a stainless steel hose connecting the water supply. Should I invest in replacing the water tank or is this just a sign to get a new fridge. Mine is about 15 years old.My Kenmore model # 9515581 began dispensing mildew tasting water a couple weeks. ago. The water looks cloudy and yellow. The water to the house is fine.

Re:
You do not say what type of hose or pipework in supplying water to the unit, if you have a washing machine style hose supplying the water then that is most likely the fault,replace with a copper of clear plastic type pipe, this is avaialbel from your local maytag, amana or admiral stockest you could also try fitting an in line water filter, it is not practicle or possible to replace all the water system components.

Hi, Anonymous
More likely the filter got contaminated.
You need to replace it as well. Here is a link to Sears Partsdirect

I have seen this one other time in all my years of appliance repair and changing out the "water inlet valve" corrected the problem. I don't have an answer to why it did, but it did. Here is the valve for your unit. After you change the valve be sure to purge the water line for a good 5 - 10 mins to get all the nasty water out. Keep me posted!
Hello, On your refrigerator the filter isn't in the grill below the grill it is in the ceiling of the refrig. section above the top shelf in the upper right corner
Discard the first few batches of ice made by the ice maker. If new plumbingconnections are installed, discard the first few batches of ice. The plumbingsystem is flushing and may cause a bad taste or odd color.
Discard ice stored in the bin for long periods of time. Wash the ice binwith warm water and mild dish detergent. Dry thoroughly before replacing thebin.

This is an error code for the icemaker fan motor. If the control does not see a signal coming back from the fan motor you will get this error code. Please see the image below from the service manual that explains the ER IF error code.
allow your ice maker to dispose old water that is still stucked on its hoses, just throw those unpleasant ices's and water would simply replenishes with a a fres and good supply
