Internal Drainage Problem
Water is pooling inside the ice bin or cabinet instead of draining properly.

Possible Causes
Clogged internal drain, kinked drain hose, frozen drain line, failed drain pump (if equipped)
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Unplug the unit before clearing drains.
Steps to restore drainage:
- Clear internal drain: Locate the drain hole at the bottom of the bin or cabinet. Use a small brush or pipe cleaner to remove debris.
- Check drain hose: Inspect the hose from the internal drain to the external drain or pump. Straighten kinks and ensure proper downward slope.
- Defrost drain: If the drain is frozen, unplug the unit and allow ice to melt, or use warm (not boiling) water to thaw the line.
- Test drain pump: For pumped-drain models, listen for pump operation. If silent and water does not evacuate, test and replace the drain pump.
