The water and ice taste and smells bad, and when the ice melts the water is cloudy

Replace water supply line. Do not use the braided metat line or vinyl. Use the plastic tubing ice maker line or copper.

FRIDGE FREEZER SIDE STINKS

That is your problem.
The plastic supply lines over time deteriorate and wind up causing the water to smell.
Replace the plastic line with a stainless steel ice maker water supply line available at any home improvement center. They are 1/4 inch inside diameter lines and fittings.
They come in 5/10 and 20 foot lenghts.
After you do this run about 2 gallons of water through the water in the door dispenser. Discard the first 3 drops of ice from the ice maker.
Your ice quality will improve.

Ice tastes funny and a strange metallic or plastic type smell

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.

How do you clean an IceMagic Ice Maker

Since chemicals are a bad idea and could contaminate the ice, I think this may be a task for a steam cleaner like scunci or shark. Use a clean cloth with a touch of dish detergent and get the reachable parts. then wipe down with hot wet cloth followed by a dry one. Unplug while cleaning the mechanical part to be safe.

Ice maker's ice taste funny

You may consider pulling out the ice maker and tossing it in the trash if you look at it and see that where the ice sits it's corroded or its close to a 10 year old in age (IT'S DUE TO GO OUT ANYWAY).Other than that:you have a 3% chance that the tube that goes to your ice maker is bad.
