Possible Causes

Clogged internal drain, Misaligned drain pan, Excessive frost melting, Cracked evaporator tray

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before working inside the bin.

  • Clear drain: Locate the internal drain hole at the bottom of the bin or evaporator area. Use a small brush or pipe cleaner to remove debris, then flush with warm water.
  • Check drain pan alignment: Ensure the pan under the evaporator is properly seated and sloped toward the drain.
  • Inspect tray for cracks: Look for hairline cracks in the evaporator tray or bin liner where water could escape. Replace damaged parts.
  • Defrost excess ice: If heavy frost is present, perform a full manual defrost to restore normal drainage paths.
