How can I get the stale smell out of my ice maker?
Question:I have an ice maker in my frezer which is 12 years old. I have arm and hammer baking soda in there already and it isn't doing much of anything. The odor is seeping into my ice and making it taste funny.
Answers:
The water line that feeds an ice maker has a filter in it. You may need to change the filter. If the line doesn't have a filter then you can add one.
baking soda!
assuming the water source tastes ok, then try FRIDGE IT odor absorbers. It is a natural carbon product little purple cube with an incredible activated carbon filter inside that is really, really, great and eliminates the odors and for a long time. It works so much better than baking soda all those sprays, and fragrances that just cover up smells and doesn't get rid of them. Also, alot of sprays have warning statements about being eye irritant. and gels and oils that say keep away from fabric, pets,etc. and just don't eliminate odors. Just put a couple in your freezer and fridge. The ice is probably just picking up odor from circulated air. Each only costs a couple of dollars. I use this product everywhere including car(smoke and pet smells), storage, closets, my fridge and also under sinks, near trash and have friends that use it on cat litter box and also diaper pails - it's that good. I really recommend it. You can buy it in kitchen gadget sections in stores like walmart and linens and things. I also think camping world sells it and Internet. - customerservice@innofresh.com. Definitely worth trying
