Possible Causes

Cracked water reservoir, loose hose connection, blocked drain line, misaligned water tank

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit and mop up any spilled water to prevent slipping. Turn off water supply on plumbed models.

Steps:

  • Inspect reservoir: Remove and visually inspect the water tank or internal reservoir for cracks or seam leaks. Replace the water reservoir if damaged.
  • Check hose connections: Remove the rear or side panel and inspect all water hoses and clamps. Tighten loose clamps and reseat hoses fully on their barbs.
  • Clear drain: If your SMAD ice maker has a drain hose, ensure it is not kinked or blocked. Flush with warm water to clear obstructions.
  • Verify tank seating: On portable units, ensure the tank is fully inserted and level so that seals engage properly.
  • Test for leaks: Refill with water and observe the unit while it runs to identify any remaining leak points.
