Amana Poor Drainage / Standing Water

Water remains in the bin or cabinet after harvest, causing ice to be wet or slushy.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Clogged drain line, slow drain pump, improper drain hose installation, ice blocking drain opening

Safety First: Unplug the unit before working on the drain system.

Inspect drain opening: Check the drain at the bottom of the bin or reservoir for ice or debris. Clear any blockage.
Clean drain hose: Disconnect the drain hose and flush it with warm water to remove scale and debris.
Verify hose routing: Ensure the hose slopes continuously downward to the drain and is not kinked or looped.
Check drain pump (if equipped): Test the pump for proper operation and replace if weak or noisy.
