Re: Odd tasting ice?

There normally should be much which could effect the water in the
icemaker that wouldn't also effect the water from the chilled water
reservoir except food odors (which wouldn't effect dispensed water) or
maybe the icemaker's ice cube 'mold'.

There have been cases of some original icemaker mold's finish flaking
off and getting frozen into cubes. In that case replacing the whole
icemaker is usually the most cost effective repair.
