You should be able to clean this with baking soda and salt mixture. Mix your baking soda with salt. Add a few drops of water to make a paste. Use an old toothbrush to scrub the mold off the unit.

You can follow these steps for clean your refrigerator water line:

First you must turn off your water supply to the cooling system.
Pour some distilled Vinegar into a cup and pour it down the tube. (If your fridge has an ice maker as well, turn it on so that the vinegar will clean the ice maker system as well)

Try to get a bottle brush to dip the end in the vinegar this way you can clean inside the water sprout as well.
After you flush your system out with vinegar make sure to turn back on the water supply and let it run until you can see that there is no more vinegar in the system
You can pour a glass of water to see if there are any leftover remains of the vinegar.
Also, if you do have an ice maker, be sure to throw the first 2-3 batches of ice out after this process because they will most likely have vinegar in them.
Just to make sure there is no excess vinegar in the ice tray, you should take out the tray and soak it with warm soapy water. After you soak it, its important for you to rinse it thoroughly. You want to rinse it as much as possible with hot and clean water

How do I clean the inside of the plastic ice maker line? It looks gunky below the faucet under the sink before it travels under the floor to the fridge.

Is there a way of disconnecting the line and cleaning it out with a Q-tip?

 

Question: Pumping Bottled Water Into Refrigerator Water Supply?

I use a Flo Jet pump and a 5 gallon bottle of water to feed the water supply to my Whirlpool fridge. My question is do I have to have the fridge filter in place? The Flo Jet company said to remove the filter in order for the pump to work properly.

Question: Flushing Refrigerator Water Line?

I have a Maytag fridge, model# MZD2665HEQ. I want to flush the water lines to take the musty taste out of them so I can drink the water again. It just doesn't taste good.

I need to find out if there is any way to clean (instead of replace) the lines and water reservoir in my "Whirlpool" refrigerator icemaker/water unit.
