Lately, the water from the front drinking water dispenser has a smell to
it.
"Rotten egg". Taste is ok though. I have another regierator in the same
house- water smells and tastes fine. All faucets, even next to the
refrig
with the smelly water, smells fine out of the faucet. What's a good way
to
clean the water in the refrig water line and water reservoir?


I suspect your filter is the cause, replace that and then flush the
system.

I kill the rotten egg smell in our hot water heater with hydrogen peroxide.
get a small bottle at rite aid or cvs for $ 0.99 and pour that into the
fridge water line, (that will probably be the toughest part.) let it sit
for a night, and then flush it out in the morning, should be all good

I pour in 1 large bottle into our 50 gallon hot water heater, and that takes
care of the smell for a month or so. before the little critters get back in
from the well and start to make it smell again.
