Possible Causes

Loose inlet hose connection, Cracked internal water line, Overflowing reservoir due to stuck float, Leaking drain hose or pump housing

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

  • Inspect external connections: Check the inlet hose at both the wall and the ice maker for tightness. Replace any damaged washers.
  • Check internal tubing: Remove panels and look for drips while briefly turning water back on. Tighten or replace any cracked or loose plastic lines.
  • Examine reservoir and float: Ensure the float moves freely and shuts off water at the correct level. Clean or replace if stuck.
  • Inspect drain system: Look for cracks in the drain hose or pump housing. Replace any leaking components.
  • Dry thoroughly: After repairs, dry the interior and base pan before restoring power.
