Possible Causes
Cracked ice tray or mold, Loose water line connection at ice maker, Overfilling due to faulty inlet valve, Misaligned ice maker causing spills
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before inspecting for leaks.
- Inspect ice tray: Remove the ice bin and examine the tray or mold for hairline cracks or warping. Replace if damaged.
- Check fittings: Follow the water line to the ice maker and tighten any loose compression or push-fit connections.
- Observe fill: Turn water back on and run a test cycle while watching the fill. If water overflows the mold, the inlet valve may be sticking open and should be replaced.
- Level the unit: Ensure the appliance is level front-to-back and side-to-side so water sits evenly in the mold.
Warning: Wipe up any standing water promptly to prevent ice buildup and damage to components.
