When KitchenAid refrigerator water tastes normal but the ice tastes bad, start with the ice itself: discard the stored ice, wash and dry the bin, check for uncovered or strong-smelling food, and make fresh ice. If the taste returns, check the water filter's age and installation, flush it according to that filter's instructions, and review any recent plumbing or water-line work.
