How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power before working inside the compartment.

Clearing internal drains:

  • Locate drain: Find the small drain hole or channel at the bottom of the ice compartment.
  • Remove blockage: Use a soft brush or pipe cleaner to remove ice, food particles, or scale.
  • Flush with warm water: Pour a small amount of warm (not boiling) water into the drain to melt any ice and confirm flow to the drain pan or pump.
  • Check drain hose routing: Ensure the hose slopes downward without loops that can trap water.
