Possible Causes

Clogged internal drain channel, Frozen drain line, Drain hose routed uphill, Faulty drain pump (if equipped)

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before working inside the cabinet.

  • Clear internal drain: Remove the ice bin and locate the drain opening. Flush with warm water to melt any ice and dislodge debris.
  • Check drain routing: Ensure the external drain hose slopes continuously downward to the drain point. Correct any upward loops.
  • Defrost frozen drain: If the drain line is frozen, unplug the unit and allow it to thaw completely. Avoid using sharp tools.
  • Test drain pump: For pumped-drain models, verify that the pump runs and discharges water. Replace the pump if it hums but does not move water.
  • Verify operation: After clearing, pour a small amount of water into the bin area and confirm it drains away quickly.
