Possible Causes
Loose or cracked water inlet hose, Leaking internal water line, Blocked or misrouted drain hose, Overfilled reservoir due to faulty level control
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the ice maker and close the water supply valve. Mop up any standing water to prevent slipping.
- Inspect external connections: Check the water supply hose at both the household valve and the ice maker inlet for tightness and cracks. Replace if damaged.
- Check internal tubing: Remove panels and inspect plastic water lines for pinholes, loose push-fit connections, or splits. Reseat or replace as needed.
- Verify drain function: Ensure the drain hose is not blocked and slopes downward. Clear any clogs and correct routing.
- Check reservoir level control: If the reservoir overflows, test the float or electronic level sensor and replace if it fails to stop filling.
- Dry and test: After repairs, dry the interior, restore water and power, and observe a full cycle for any remaining leaks.
