Possible Causes
Loose or damaged drain plug, Cracked water reservoir, Misaligned internal water tube, Overfilled reservoir
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit and wipe up any spilled water to prevent slipping or electrical hazards.
- Check drain plug: If your Insignia model has a bottom drain, ensure the plug is fully inserted and the gasket is not cracked or missing.
- Inspect reservoir: Remove the ice basket and look for cracks in the plastic reservoir or seams. Fill with a small amount of water and watch for drips.
- Avoid overfilling: Only fill to the MAX line. Overfilling can cause water to spill into unintended areas.
- Check internal tubing: If accessible, remove the side or rear panel and inspect water tubes for disconnections or splits. Reseat any loose hoses and secure with clamps.
- Replace damaged parts: If the reservoir or drain plug is cracked, replace with the correct Insignia part to prevent ongoing leaks.
