Possible Causes
Misaligned water distributor or spray bar, Cracked water trough, Overfilling due to faulty water level sensor, Condensation from poor door seal
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power and close the water supply.
Steps:
- Inspect water distributor: Remove internal covers and check that the water distributor or spray bar is correctly seated over the evaporator plate. Reposition if water is splashing into the bin.
- Check trough and sump: Look for cracks or warping in the water trough that could allow drips into the bin. Replace damaged parts.
- Verify water level control: Clean and test the float or probe controlling water level. Replace if it allows overfilling.
- Door seal: Inspect the bin door gasket for gaps that allow warm air in, causing excess condensation. Replace the gasket if necessary.
