Possible Causes

Loose drain plug, cracked reservoir, disconnected internal hose, overfilled reservoir causing overflow

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit and dry any spilled water to prevent slipping or electrical hazards.

Steps:

  • Check drain plug: If your Antarctic Star model has a rear or bottom drain plug, ensure it is fully tightened and the gasket is intact.
  • Inspect reservoir: Remove the ice basket and visually inspect the reservoir for cracks or seams leaking when filled with water.
  • Check internal hoses: Remove the rear or bottom panel and look for disconnected or cracked silicone hoses. Reattach with clamps or replace damaged hoses.
  • Avoid overfilling: Only fill to the indicated MAX line. Overfilling can cause water to spill into unintended areas.
