How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Disconnect power before working inside the bin. Use food-safe cleaning materials.

  • Clear bin drain: Remove all ice and flush the bin drain with hot water. Use a flexible brush to clear slime and debris.
  • Check drain fitting: Inspect the connection between the bin and drain hose for leaks. Tighten clamps or replace gaskets as needed.
  • Inspect drain hose: Ensure the hose is not kinked or elevated above the bin outlet. Replace if brittle or cracked.
  • Sanitize bin: Clean and sanitize the bin interior to prevent recurring slime buildup.
