I am having this same issue. The bottom ice tastes fine. The water tastes fine. The top ice maker tastes so weird! I might try to change out the water supply line from the new plastic one they made me buy, to the old copper one we had before. I read online that could solve it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The installer told us when changing the filter make sure to run a few gallons through the water line and ice maker to avoid funky taste. First water through the filter was cloudy
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I don't have that problem - Did you throw out the first few ice buckets??
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Our LG dispensed bad-tasting water even after three weeks and dozens of gallons of flushing water. (Did not detect taste in the ice, but the gin probably masked it.) We replaced the braided stainless steel hose the installer used with a cheap GE brand (https://www.homedepot.com/p/GE-Universal-8-ft-Ice-Maker-Water-Supply-Line-WX08X10006/202049950) PLASTIC hose. I also cranked the water cutoff valve open and shut multiple times to knock out any deposits and ran five gallons straight from that line into a bucket at full pressure. One of these actions fixed it. So it was picking up the taste from either the metal hose or junk in the cutoff valve.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Is it a NEW rubber/vinyl line for water flow. Sometimes that gives a funny taste until it gets a lot of use, but only 7 to 10 days max.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yeah I have the same problem - although only with the top ice maker. I had the ice makre replaced and it is still happening again. Has to be a faulty design. LG has tried to blame food odors and the water treatment facility...
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Our refrigerator is about a month old. Top ice was fine the first few days, then started tasting bad. Bottom ice is fine. I've tried every solution suggested on various forums and nothing has helped. The water tastes fine. It has to be something to do with the top ice maker.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.After a month ice and water have no taste.I love the water taste, actually no taste
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have not had the frige a week yet, and no bad taste from day one. No problem with the ice whatsoever, and I am an iceaholic. I use ice in everything, as I have a very dry mouth due to extensive dental work.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Same thing here now it has kind of dissapated. But you can taste it sometimes. I'm guessing it's the filter.
