How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Unplug the unit and shut off water immediately.
Steps:
- Inspect hoses: Pull the Arktic ice maker forward and inspect the inlet and drain hoses for cracks or loose clamps. Tighten or replace as needed.
- Check reservoir: Remove the bin and inspect the water reservoir for hairline cracks or seam leaks. Replace the reservoir if damaged.
- Examine inlet valve: Look for drips from the valve body even when not filling. Replace the water inlet valve if it leaks.
- Clear drain: Ensure the internal and external drains are clear so water does not overflow.
