How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit and dry any spilled water to prevent slipping or electrical hazards.
Leak inspection steps:
- Check drain plug: Ensure the rear or bottom drain plug is fully inserted and the gasket is intact. Replace the plug or gasket if cracked.
- Inspect drain hose: If equipped with a drain hose, verify it is securely attached and not split or kinked. Replace if damaged.
- Look for cracks: Remove the ice basket and inspect the reservoir for visible cracks or seams leaking water.
- Check inlet connections: On plumbed-in models, inspect the water inlet hose and fittings for drips. Tighten connections gently; do not overtighten plastic threads.
- Test after repair: Dry the unit, refill with water, and observe for leaks before returning to normal use.
