Possible Causes
Faulty water level sensor, Stuck water inlet valve (built‑in), Mispositioned water distribution tube, Control board not shutting off fill
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit and shut off water supply for plumbed‑in models.
Steps to stop overflow:
- Verify reservoir fill: Do not exceed the maximum fill line in countertop models.
- Inspect water distribution: Ensure the water distribution tube or tray is correctly positioned over the evaporator and not directing water into the bin.
- Check water level sensor: Test and replace the float or electronic water level sensor if it does not signal the control to stop filling.
- Test inlet valve (built‑in): If water continues to flow when power is off, the inlet valve is stuck open and must be replaced.
