Water accumulates inside the RCA ice maker cabinet or under the ice basket.

Safety first: Unplug the unit and remove the ice basket before working inside.

• Step 1 – Remove ice and water: Take out the ice basket and soak up standing water with towels.
• Step 2 – Inspect drain path: Locate the small drain holes or channels that return meltwater to the reservoir. Clear any ice, scale, or debris with a soft brush or pipe cleaner.
• Step 3 – Check tray alignment: Ensure the evaporator tray or ice-making tray is properly seated and level. Misalignment can cause water to spill over the sides.
• Step 4 – Examine plastic parts: Look for cracks in the tray or trough that could let water escape. Replace the ice tray/water trough assembly if damaged.
• Step 5 – Test: Reassemble, run a cycle, and watch the water path to confirm proper drainage.
