Possible Causes

Leaking inlet hose or connection, Cracked internal water line, Overflow from ice tray due to sticking valve, Blocked drain channel causing water to collect

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power and close the water supply valve immediately to prevent further leakage.

Steps:

  • Remove toe‑kick or lower panel: Access the base tray where the safety float switch is located. Mop up any standing water.
  • Reset float: Once dry, ensure the float moves freely and is not stuck in the raised position.
  • Inspect hoses and joints: With a flashlight, check the inlet hose, internal water lines, and connections to the valve and ice tray for drips or mineral deposits.
  • Check drain path: If the unit has a drain, ensure the drain hose and internal channel are not blocked.

Resolution: Replace any cracked hoses or fittings. If the inlet valve is weeping water when closed, replace the water inlet valve. Do not operate the unit until the leak source is fully corrected.
