Possible Causes

Clogged internal drain port, Frozen drain line, Improper unit leveling, Drain hose installed with upward loops

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before working with water inside the cabinet.

  • Clear drain port: Locate the drain opening at the bottom of the bin or reservoir. Use a soft brush or pipe cleaner to remove debris or scale.
  • Defrost drain line: If the drain hose is frozen, allow the unit to thaw or gently warm the hose with a towel soaked in warm water. Do not use open flames or high heat.
  • Level the unit: Use a spirit level to ensure the ice maker is slightly tilted toward the drain as specified by Hansa. Adjust leveling feet accordingly.
  • Correct hose routing: Ensure the drain hose runs downhill without loops that can trap water and cause backflow.
  • Test drainage: Pour a small amount of water into the bin and confirm it flows freely out of the drain.
