Possible Causes

Clogged internal drain channel, Ice blocking drain, Misaligned water tray, Defective drain hose connection

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit and remove ice before working inside.

Steps to restore drainage:

  • Remove ice and water: Empty the bin and soak up standing water with towels.
  • Clear drain hole: Locate the drain opening in the ice chamber and clear it with a soft brush or pipe cleaner.
  • Check tray alignment: Ensure the water tray is properly seated so water flows toward the drain.
  • Inspect drain hose: Access the underside and verify the drain hose is securely attached and not kinked.
  • Test with water: Pour a small amount of water into the chamber and confirm it drains out properly.
