Opened your Westinghouse fridge to take out some ice to enjoy your fruit drink only to find a bad smell from the ice? Well, there are certain reasons behind it and today we will be discussing them here. Basically, when the ice gives off an unpleasant smell, you should contact your local repairers in Sydney or Camperdown. But you can do a few things to mitigate the issue as well and we will take a look at them here.

• The Fridge is New

Yes, ice can give off a bad smell if your Westinghouse fridge is brand new, and to solve the issue, you will need to flush the water lines first. You can do this on your own, or you can contact the professionals providing Westinghouse fridge repairs.

However, for flushing out the lines, you will require a good amount of water. So, if you are confused about how to accomplish this, contacting professionals is always the best solution.

• Checking Your Tap Water

On many occasions the tap water can give a bad smell when it freezes. So, you should check your tap water first to see if it has certain chemicals that are causing the smell.

But if your tap water is completely fine, it is time to call fridge repair experts since they can diagnose the issue properly and fix it accordingly.

• Food Can Cause the Ice to Give Off Smell  

Sometimes old food can also get into the freezer and cause the ice to smell. But you can easily fix this issue by cleaning up the remains of food left in your fridge, cleaning the spills with a safe detergent.

However, if the ice is still smelly, it is time to call the professionals providing the fridge repairs in Camperdown.

• The Ice Cubes are Old

If the ice cubes in your Westinghouse fridge is old, they can give off a bad smell since they easily absorb the smell from food and other particles. So, to avoid the issue, it is best to defrost the fridge once a while and after the ice melts refill the ice maker with fresh water.

Additionally, after the ice melts away, it is best to clean the interiors of the fridge first before you refill the ice maker with fresh water.

• The Filter in Your Fridge is Dirty

With time the filters in the fridge get dirty and the accumulated particles need to be removed using good cleaning solutions and to do it, you should call professionals providing fridge repairs in Sydney.
