Water remains in the bin or cabinet area and does not drain properly after ice melts.

Safety: Unplug the unit before clearing drains.

Steps:

• Locate drain: Identify the bin or cabinet drain opening and follow it to the external hose connection.
• Clear blockage: Use a small brush or flexible plastic rod to clear debris from the drain opening. Flush with warm water.
• Inspect hose routing: Ensure the drain hose slopes downward with no kinks or high loops that trap water.
• Check drain pump: On models with a pump, verify it runs when water should be draining. Replace the pump if it is silent or weak.

Tip: Regularly cleaning the bin and drain prevents mold and odors.
