Possible Causes
Cracked ice maker tray, Misaligned or cracked fill tube, Loose water line connection at ice maker, Overfilling due to faulty inlet valve
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator and shut off the water supply before inspecting for leaks.
Steps:
- Inspect ice maker tray: Remove the ice bucket and visually inspect the ice tray for cracks or warping. Replace the ice maker if damaged.
- Check fill tube alignment: Ensure the fill tube is properly seated over the tray and not spraying water outside the mold. Adjust or replace the tube if cracked.
- Examine water connections: Check the plastic water line connection at the back of the ice maker for tightness and signs of leakage. Reseat or replace the line and fitting if needed.
- Test inlet valve: If water continues to drip into the ice maker when it should be off, the inlet valve is likely sticking and must be replaced.
