Possible Causes

Clogged drain hose, Failed drain pump motor, Kinked external drain line, Blocked drain outlet

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the ice maker and place a shallow pan or towels under the drain area.

  • Step 1 – Inspect external drain: Ensure the external drain hose is not kinked, elevated too high, or blocked at the outlet.
  • Step 2 – Clean internal drain: Access the internal drain port and hose. Flush with warm water to remove scale and debris.
  • Step 3 – Check drain pump (if equipped): For Teendow models with a pump, remove the pump cover and inspect the impeller for obstructions. Clean thoroughly.
  • Step 4 – Test pump: With power briefly restored, listen for pump operation during a drain cycle. If silent and wiring is intact, the pump motor is likely failed.
  • Step 5 – Replace pump or hose: Install a Teendow-compatible drain pump or replace the drain hose if damaged.
