    hi all,
    we have an American style fridge freezer in the house... its a Whirlpool. over the last year the ice has a taste off it.... i emptied it all out and started from scratch again but still the same. i can't describe the taste but its not right anyways. the water is perfect and clean so it must be something to do with the whirlpool.
    anyone ever have any problem like this? would the taste be coming from the food in the freezer or maybe i need to change filters or something.

    any ideas/advice would be great.

    Probably need to change the filter, mine has a light to warn you that the filter needs changing.

    i did some searching last nite.... 50 euro for a new filter! that light came on just a few months after us getting the freezer so i reset it.... obviously a new filter is needed so. cheers lonestargirl; where did you get the filter? i seen it on 4whirlpool.ie.

    Check ebay, you should be able to pick one up for half that price.
