Stuck water inlet valve,Faulty water level sensor,Control board overfilling due to sensor misread,Slow draining of reservoir

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the ice maker and close the water supply valve.

  • Observe fill cycle: Restore power and watch a full cycle. If water continues to flow after the normal fill time, the inlet valve may be sticking open.
  • Replace inlet valve: If the valve drips or does not close fully when de‑energized, replace the Hoover water inlet valve.
  • Check level sensor: Inspect and clean the float or electronic level sensor. Ensure it moves freely and is not coated with scale.
  • Verify drain: Make sure the reservoir drains correctly between cycles. Clear any blockages in the drain channel.
