why does ice sometime have a smell?

Answer 1

It is picking up the smells from the air in the refrigerator since the same air gets circulated. . I have the perfect solution. It is an unscented product called FRIDGE IT odor absorbers. It is a littler purple cube with an incredible activated carbon filter inside that is really, really, great. It works so much better than baking soda and all those sprays and fragrances that just cover up smells and doesn't get rid of them. Put one or two in both your refrigerator and freezer. The carbon literally absorbs and eliminates the odors and works for a long time. I use this product everywhere including car, 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. Definitely worth trying.

Answer 2

It may have been exposed to some foods in the freezer that are not sealed properly. My personal favorite is fish. Old ice can sometimes take on a certain taste and smell as well. Probably ought to clean out the ice maker once in a while!

Answer 3

Ice is very porous and therefore absorbs the food odors in your refrigerator. Any ice that has been in your freezer over a week should be discarded because those odors also harbor bacteria.
