Our Kitchenaid Superba KSRG25FKBL15 has bad tasting water and ice cubes. We replaced the copper tubing which delivers the water to the fridge and that didn't help. We replaced the copper tubing again with plastic tubing...no better. Any suggestions? Our tap water doesn't taste this bad. I am having the same problem with my ice. The refrigerator is 4 years old. I purchased a flexhose for the ice maker when we moved in and connected it, excited about the prospect of not having to buy ice. To my chagrin, the ice from the ice maker tastes metallic. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
The feed line of the water source is bad replace it you will also need to clean the ice makers insides to remove the rest of the contamination
and 2 more suggestions:1) change the filter - older refers have the filter in the water line serving the ice maker - newer refers have the water filter in the refer (it looks much like an auto oil filter); 2) do not store ice for extended periods when ice use is not high e.g. during cooler months. Unless you use a full basket of ice over say a few weeks you should dump all and start over periodically.
thanks.

After turning our whirlpool side by side refrigerator off for the summer (snow birds) the water from the dispenser has a chemical or oily taste. We have run more than five gallons of water thru the dispenser and it is not getting any better.
The water to the refrigerator is fine and the ice cubes are fine.
