Clogged meltwater drain hole, Mispositioned ice basket, Excessive ambient temperature causing rapid melt, Drain tube disconnected from reservoir
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off and unplug the unit before cleaning.
- Check basket position: Ensure the ice basket is seated correctly so that meltwater can drain back into the reservoir.
- Clear drain holes: Locate the small drain openings under the ice basket area and clear any ice or debris with a soft brush or plastic tool.
- Inspect drain tube: Access the interior and confirm the drain tube from the bin area is securely connected to the reservoir or drain pan.
- Control room temperature: Operate the unit in a cooler room to reduce melt rate and water accumulation.
