Water is pooling inside the Danby ice maker cabinet under the ice basket.

Safety first: Unplug the unit before cleaning internal areas.

Steps to correct internal pooling:

• Remove ice and basket: Take out all ice and the basket to expose the bottom of the cabinet.
• Clean drain channels: Locate the small drain holes or channels that return meltwater to the reservoir. Use a soft brush, pipe cleaner, or compressed air to clear any blockages.
• Check tray alignment: Ensure the ice tray or evaporator is properly seated and level so that meltwater drips back into the reservoir.
• Inspect internal hoses: Access the underside of the cabinet and look for cracked or disconnected drain hoses. Replace or reconnect as needed.
• Defrost if necessary: If heavy frost is present, allow the unit to fully defrost, then restart.
