Possible Causes

Cracked water reservoir, Loose hose connection to pump or evaporator tray, Blocked drain outlet, Overfilling reservoir beyond MAX line

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit and mop up any spilled water to avoid slipping or electrical hazards.

  • Check fill level: Ensure you are not filling above the MAX line. Overfilling can cause overflow during operation.
  • Inspect reservoir: Remove the ice basket and visually inspect the reservoir for cracks or seams that are leaking. Fill with a small amount of water and watch for drips.
  • Check internal hoses: Remove the side or rear panel to access hoses. Look for loose clamps or hoses pulled off their barbs. Re-seat and secure with clamps or cable ties.
  • Clean drain outlet: If your Swan model has a drain plug or hose, remove it and flush with water to clear any blockage. Ensure the plug is reinstalled tightly.

If the reservoir is cracked or a molded plastic component is leaking, replacement of that part is usually required.
