Today's refrigerators use a cold air system to make the refrigerator section cold. In olden days there would be an evaporator in both the freezer section (which the whole freezer compartment actually was) and an evaporator in the refrigerator section. Today's units use one evaporator with a fan in front of it to blow cold air throughout the freezer and into an air vent leading to the refrigerator section. This blowing of cold, really near zero degree , air across the ice cube trays or ice maker bin the result of this is-- if you don't use ice the cubes keep getting smaller due to evaporation,. Usually this takes about 30 days in which the cubes become stale and begin to take on odors of the food that surrounds them. For a cube to be good use them or throw them out after a month because a guest may love onions but not the taste of them in her Johnny Red Rocks.
