Possible Causes

Clogged internal drain, failed drain pump, improperly leveled unit, ice melting due to high cabinet temperature

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before working near water and electrical parts.

  • Clear internal drain: Locate the internal drain hole at the bottom of the bin or sump. Flush with hot water and a small brush to remove debris.
  • Check level: Use a level to ensure the ice maker is slightly pitched toward the drain. Adjust leveling legs as needed.
  • Test drain pump: If equipped, verify the pump runs and discharges water. Replace if it hums but does not pump.
  • Check door seal: Ensure the door or bin closes fully to maintain proper temperature and reduce melting.
