How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the ice maker before working near water or the pump. Mop up any standing water to avoid slipping.
- Check external drain hose: Ensure the drain hose is not kinked, elevated too high, or submerged in standing water. Straighten or reroute as needed.
- Clear internal drain: Remove the ice bin and inspect the drain opening at the bottom of the reservoir. Use a soft brush or pipe cleaner to remove debris.
- Access drain pump: Remove the lower rear panel to locate the drain pump assembly. Check for obstructions in the pump inlet and outlet.
- Inspect wiring: Confirm the pump connector is firmly attached and wires are intact.
- Test pump operation: After reassembly, plug in and start a cycle. Listen for the pump during drain. If it does not run or only hums, the pump likely needs replacement.
