    Mildew smell coming out of kitchen faucet
    My kitchen faucet has a mildew smell coming out of it only on the cold water side. Its only this faucet that this is happening too. The longer it sits the stronger the smell, but if I let the water run for about a minute the smell goes away. I have taken apart the faucet and soaked it in bleach, and that didn't help. I have placed water filters on the cold water side - 3 total, one going to the dishwater, one going to the faucet and one going to the ice maker. My icemaker and dishwasher smells as well, but only if I haven't run the water for awhile. I am at a loss. Any suggestions?
