Possible Causes
Cracked water reservoir or tank, Loose or split water hose, Leaking water pump housing, Misaligned drain plug or gasket
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit and mop up any spilled water to prevent slipping or electrical hazards.
- Check external tank and drain: Inspect the removable water tank (if equipped) for cracks and ensure the bottom valve seals properly when installed. Verify the drain plug at the back is fully inserted and the gasket is intact.
- Inspect inside reservoir: Remove the ice basket and look for water overflowing or dripping from above. Overfilling can cause internal spills.
- Remove covers: With power disconnected, remove the side or bottom panels to trace the leak. Fill the reservoir and observe where water appears.
- Check hoses and clamps: Tighten any loose hose clamps and replace cracked or hardened hoses between the reservoir, pump, and distribution tray.
- Examine pump housing: Look for hairline cracks or leaks around the water pump body. Replace the pump if it leaks.
- Replace damaged parts: Replace any cracked reservoir, hoses, or gaskets with compatible Severin parts. Ensure all connections are watertight before reassembling.
