Problem Possible Cause & Solution
Ice has bad
taste or odor.
Water supply contains minerals such as sulfur.
• A water filter may need to be installed to eliminate
taste and odor problems. NOTE: In some cases, a
filter may not help. It may not be possible to
remove all minerals/odor/taste in all water
supplies.
Icemaker was recently installed.
• Ice that has been stored for too long will shrink,
become cloudy, and may develop a stale taste.
Throw away old ice and make a new supply.
The food has not been stored properly in either
compartment.
• Rewrap the food. Odors may migrate to the ice if
food is not wrapped properly.
The interior of the refrigerator needs to be cleaned.
• See the Maintenance & Care section for more
information.
The ice storage bin needs to be cleaned.
• Empty and wash the bin (discard old cubes). Make
sure that the bin is completely dry before
reinstalling it.
Doors are
difficult to
open.
The gaskets are dirty or sticky.
• Clean the gaskets and the surfaces that they touch.
Rub a thin coat of appliance polish or kitchen wax
on the gaskets after cleaning.
Door was recently closed.
• When you open the door, warmer air enters the
refrigerator. As the warm air cools, it can create a
vacuum. If the door is hard to open, wait one
minute to allow the air pressure to equalize, then
see if it opens more easily.
