Internal Drainage Problem
Water pooling inside the ice bin or cabinet
Advertisements
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.
