Possible Causes

Loose or cracked inlet hose, Leaking water inlet valve body, Blocked or disconnected drain hose, Cracked internal water reservoir

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit and shut off the water supply. Use towels to soak up standing water to prevent slipping.

  • Inspect rear connections: Check the water inlet hose connection at the wall and at the ice maker. Tighten compression fittings and replace any cracked hoses.
  • Check drain hose: Ensure the drain hose is securely attached and not split. Replace if brittle or leaking.
  • Look inside for drips: Remove the front panel and observe while briefly turning water on. Identify any drips from the reservoir, distribution tubes, or inlet valve body.
  • Replace leaking components: If the inlet valve or reservoir is cracked, replace the part rather than attempting to seal it.
