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.
