How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit and shut off the water supply. Use towels to dry the area and prevent slipping.
- Inspect rear connections: Check the water supply line connection at the back of the Ikea ice maker. Tighten compression fittings and replace any damaged tubing.
- Check drain hose: Follow the drain hose from the sump to the household drain. Look for cracks, loose clamps, or disconnections. Replace the hose if brittle or leaking.
- Clear drain blockage: Flush the drain hose with warm water to remove clogs. Ensure the hose slopes downward without sags.
- Inspect reservoir and internal tubing: Remove panels to view the reservoir and internal hoses while briefly turning water on. Identify and replace any leaking components.
