I was told by the install team, that I had to run the water for a couple gallons to reduce the air in the line. I was also told to throw away the first batch of ice - mainly because it would likely have the "new fridge" taste. I am now on my third week of ownership and I have not had any issues with the flavor or either since we performed the air bleed before use. I hate if this doesn't help - it's my experience with the unit.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Use a copper line, I've had no issues with mine!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.We do not have that issue. I would suggest trying moving more water out of the system.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Mine does not have this issue. I would check the water filter.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Might have to change the water filter even though it is new. Make sure you turn off the water source to the fridge and use only Samsung filters. I tried another brand that had broader filtration but it leaked into the tray below for days. I have the same fridge and the water dispenser leaked, then the ice maker froze up several times. The stainless steel below the water / ice dispenser has begun to rust at 1 yr. I am concerned this is a bad model.
