Refrigerator Ice Smells or Tastes Bad – Northglenn

If your ice tastes musty, metallic, or like chemicals, or smells strange right out of the dispenser, it’s a sign something in the system needs attention. In Northglenn, Tonny’s Appliance Repair solves bad-tasting or smelly ice problems in refrigerators of all brands—fast and with lasting results.

Why Your Ice Smells or Tastes Bad

The ice maker draws from your home’s water system, filters it, and freezes it. If something interrupts that process or introduces odors, your ice gets contaminated.

Most common causes:

• Old or clogged water filter

• Contaminated or stagnant water line

• Plastic or chemical residue from new fridge

• Dirty or moldy ice bin

• Odors from food transferring to ice

• Mold in dispenser or chute

• Low-quality plumbing line materials (rubber, PVC)

Signs You Have Bad Ice

• • • Ice cubes have a bad taste or chemical flavor

    • Ice smells like onions, fish, or plastic

    • Water from the dispenser is fine—but ice tastes bad

    • Ice is cloudy or soft and melts fast

    • Ice maker makes noise or runs slow

    • Guests or family avoid using ice
