How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the ice maker before cleaning the interior.

  • Empty ice basket: Remove all ice and wipe the bin dry.
  • Clean drain holes: Locate the small drain openings at the bottom of the ice bin and clear them with a soft brush or toothpick.
  • Check basket position: Reinstall the ice basket so it sits correctly and does not block the drain path.
  • Control room temperature: Move the unit away from heat sources to slow melting.
  • If pooling continues: Internal drain tubing may be partially blocked and may need to be cleaned or replaced.
