Hello there! Thank you for sharing your experience with us regarding the plastic taste in the ice from your LG LY27S3240S refrigerator. We understand how important it is to have clean-tasting ice and water. Based on your description, here are some steps to help resolve the issue: Flush the Water Tank: Since you’ve already flushed the water and ice, we recommend repeating the process and flushing 2.5 to 3 gallons of water and any ice that has settled in the tank. This should help eliminate any residual tastes. Check the Water Filter: If the filter hasn't been replaced in the last six months, it may be time to do so. Over time, filters can become less effective, potentially contributing to taste issues. Please refer to our How to Install Your Refrigerator Water Filter article for guidance on locating and replacing the filter. Inspect the Water Supply Tubing: Ensure that your refrigerator is connected to the correct type of tubing. We recommend PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) tubing, as it doesn’t affect the taste. If you’re using braided plastic, nylon, or non-food grade plastic tubing, it could contribute to a plastic taste in the ice, as these materials can leach chemicals.
