Possible Causes
Blocked internal drain channel, Misrouted drain hose inside cabinet, Cracked evaporator tray, Excessive condensation due to high humidity
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit and remove the ice basket.
- 1. Inspect drain holes: Look for small drain openings under the evaporator and in the ice bin area. Clear them with a soft brush or pipe cleaner.
- 2. Check internal hose routing: Remove the side panel and verify that the internal drain hose slopes downward to the reservoir or drain outlet without kinks.
- 3. Examine evaporator tray: Look for cracks or warping that could cause water to spill instead of draining.
- 4. Reduce humidity: Use the ice maker in a less humid room if possible to reduce condensation.
Warning: Dry all internal areas thoroughly before reassembly to prevent mold growth and electrical issues.
