We just hooked up our ice maker. Our water supply from the pipes is good tasting. Ice tasteshorrible...metallic/chemical. What do you suggest, since this model does not have water and therefore cannot be flushed? null

I remember reading about this. They say to discard ice at least for two days. Even though your water supply is good, the tubings inside the refrigerator may cause this chemical odor. To avoid such issues, we did not hook up the water supply to the ice maker. We make the ice the old fashioned way- in the tray. That works.

Hi Cherrie, please discard the first three batches of ice produced.Thank you for your inquiry on our Whirlpool appliances.

When ours was installed they recommended not using the first two or three batches of ice. If they didn't recommend that to you, try cycling through a few batches to see, if it is still a problem.
