How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the ice maker and close the water supply immediately.

  • Inspect supply line: Check the Balay inlet hose from the shutoff valve to the unit for cracks or loose fittings. Tighten or replace as needed.
  • Check rear connections: Remove the rear panel and inspect the inlet valve and internal hoses for drips while briefly turning water on.
  • Drain system: Ensure the drain hose is not kinked, elevated too high, or blocked. Clean the hose and drain connection.
  • Level the unit: Confirm the ice maker is level so water flows correctly to the drain and does not spill over.
