Possible Causes

Stuck water valve (plumbed-in models), Faulty water pump timing on control board, Blocked tray overflow path, Misaligned tray

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit and turn off water supply (if plumbed-in).

  • Inspect tray alignment: Ensure the ice tray is properly seated and not tilted excessively.
  • Clean overflow path: Clear any ice or debris from the tray overflow channels.
  • Check valve (plumbed-in): If connected to a water line, inspect the inlet valve for sticking. Replace the valve if it does not close fully.
  • Control issue: If overflow occurs only intermittently and no mechanical cause is found, the control board may be mis-timing the pump and could require replacement.
