Possible Causes

Loose water supply connection, Cracked inlet hose, Leaking water inlet valve body, Misrouted or disconnected drain hose

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit and shut off the water supply immediately to prevent damage.

  • Inspect supply line: Check the connection at the household shutoff valve and at the back of the ice maker. Tighten compression fittings gently if damp.
  • Check hose condition: Look for cracks, bulges, or abrasion on the water line. Replace if any damage is found.
  • Examine inlet valve: Remove the rear panel and inspect the valve body for drips or cracks while water is on. Replace the valve if leaking.
  • Verify drain hose routing: Ensure the drain hose is securely attached and routed to an appropriate drain without kinks.
