Sub Zero 650S with bottom freezer-Ice tastes funny(musty ? taste)

If It were me I would change the filter in the fridge, that always worked on mine.

Hello

Change the supply line to the plastic tube line or copper. Do not use a braided plastic or metal braided line these will make the water taste bad. Changed mine to the plastic line and cured mine, no filters needed.

Replace the water filter cartridge in your refrigerator if the ice tastes bad or the control center display recommends it.

ck the water supply line . if plastic this may be the problem. all plastic line is not water quality . . also the 650 do not have a water filter . install a after market inline filter . / carbon tybe for taste . .. mm

change the water line filter

The ice maker doesn't have a filter , the problem could be the ice maker itself that the tray ,which is made out of aluminum is losing particles.Look at the conditions of the ice maker tray ,if you see like white spots replace the ice maker.

Is there an inline water filter cartridge that needs to be changed, hope this helps

Hi

Ice storage bin needs to be emptied and washed. Unsealed packages in the refrigerator and/or freezer compartments may be transmitting odors/tastes to the ice cubes.
Interior of the refrigerator may need cleaning.
Water chemicals. Installing an in-line filter can help with many odor/taste complaints.
An open box of baking soda in the refrigerator section can help with preventing the transmitting of food odors.
This is a common in-line water filter, they are fairly easy to install and usually come with instructions.


Even when your well or municipal water supply provides healthy, potable water to your ice maker, some impurities may remain. These can affect the smell or taste of the ice cubes, and therefore the beverages in which you serve them. A taste and odor water filter on the incoming water-supply line--such as our charcoal "Universal Replacement Water Filter"--can help a lot.

Also, over time, the ice cube bin can absorb difficult-to-remove odors from the freezer. Some manufactures recommend that you replace the bin every 2 to 3 years, whenever it seems to be retaining objectionable odors and transferring them to the ice cubes.

A Fixya Rating would be appreciated.

Sometimes the smell comes from something in the freezer or even the refrigeratior and makes the ice taste funny. My suggestion is to clean out the freezer compartment of anything frozen that has been there a while and may have freezer burn. That may be the funny smell you are experiencing.
Hope this will help you.

THANKS FOR YOU QUERY JACK.FIRSTLY DEPENDING ON HOW OLD THE APPLIANCES IS MOST MANUFACTURES USE THE SAME OR SIMALAR WATER FILTER SO THAT WILL BE YOUR BEST BET TO CHECK WITH THEM.NORMALY WEN THE ICE AND WATER TASTE FUNNY I HAVE FOUND THAT IT IS WHAT WE CALL ICE BURN AND THAT IS NORMALY WHEN THE ICE HAS GONE STALE OR IS STANDING FOR A LONG TIME TO SOLVE THAT IT IS BEST THAT YOU USE THE ICE UP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.HOPE THAT THIS SOLVES YOUR PROBLEM.

It will take about three to four months of using it before the plastic loses it freshness into your water. It has to dissipate the "New Car/Plumbing Smell" so to speak. It.s a normal unpleasant necessity but on the bright side... it does go away with use.
