How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before working inside the cabinet.
- Clear drain channel: Remove the ice bin and access the internal drain. Flush with warm water and use a soft brush to remove debris or scale.
- Defrost drain: If the drain is frozen, leave the unit unplugged with doors open until all ice melts. Avoid using sharp tools.
- Check drain pump: On pumped-drain Balay models, inspect the pump and impeller for obstructions. Replace the pump if it does not run or is noisy.
- Verify drain pan position: Ensure the internal pan is correctly seated and not cracked.
