Had ours a year and now the ice tastes terrible. In the past, that was an indication it needed cleaned and would resume to normal. However, now regardless of cleaning with vinegar and using filtered water, the ice still tastes terrible. What do we do? null

Question

Arty · Accepted Answer

the manual states to clean machine every 1-2 weeks with dilute bleach solution. if lots of people in the house are sticking their hands in the bin and grabbing ice, then I can easily see how bacteria will start to grow in this device rapidly and produce an off-taste. but if you clean w/ bleach every week, I don't see how enough bacteria could thrive to produce bad ice.
