The water supply contains minerals such as sulfur.

The interior of refrigerator needs cleaning. Ice storage bin needs cleaning.

Throw away old ice and make new supply.

Rewrap foods since odors may migrate to the ice if food is not wrapped properly.

A filter may need to be installed to eliminate taste and odor problems.

Empty and wash bin. Discard old cubes.

Smaller cube size level is selected.

Water shutoff valve connecting refrigerator to water line may be clogged.

Select larger cube size using cube size selector.

Call a plumber to clear the valve.

The gaskets are dirty or sticky.

The door is reopened within a short time after having been opened.

Then...

Clean gaskets and the surfaces that they touch. Rub a thin coat of appliance polish or kitchen wax on the gaskets after cleaning.

When you open the door, warmer air enters the refrigerator. As the warm air cools, it can create a vacuum. If the door is hard to open, wait 5 minutes to allow the air pressure to equalize, then see if it opens more easily.
