How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off the water supply and unplug the unit immediately to prevent electrical hazards.

Locate and repair the leak:

  • Pull the ice maker away from the wall and inspect the water supply line connection at the rear. Tighten compression fittings gently; do not overtighten plastic fittings.
  • Check the plastic or copper supply line for cracks or pinholes. Replace if damaged.
  • Remove the rear or lower panel and inspect the water inlet valve and internal hoses while the water is briefly turned on. Look for drips or sprays.
  • If the valve body is cracked or leaking at the seams, replace the water inlet valve.
  • Replace any internal hoses that show signs of swelling, cracking, or leaking at clamps.
  • Dry the area thoroughly before restoring power.
