Possible Causes

Cracked water reservoir, Loose or split circulation hose, Misaligned drain plug or gasket, Overfilling or unit not level causing overflow

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit and wipe up any spilled water to avoid slipping or electrical hazards.

Steps to locate and fix leaks:

  • Check drain plug: Inspect the bottom drain plug and gasket. Ensure it is fully seated and not cracked. Replace if damaged.
  • Level the unit: Make sure the ice maker is level so water does not spill over the reservoir edges.
  • Inspect reservoir: Remove the ice basket and look for cracks in the plastic reservoir. Fill with a small amount of water and watch for drips.
  • Check hoses: Remove the side or rear panel to inspect the water circulation hoses between the pump, distributor, and reservoir. Tighten clamps and replace any split hoses.
  • Avoid overfilling: Only fill to the MAX line; overfilling can cause water to slosh out during operation.

When to call a professional: If the cabinet itself is cracked or the leak source is not visible, contact service or consider replacement.
