Possible Causes

Cracked ice mold, misaligned fill cup, overfilling due to valve or control issue, frozen or partially blocked fill tube

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off water and power.

  • Inspect ice mold: Remove the ice maker and examine the mold for cracks or corrosion. Replace the ice maker if the mold is damaged.
  • Check fill cup alignment: Ensure the fill tube directs water into the mold’s fill cup and is not splashing outside.
  • Clear fill tube: Thaw any ice blockage in the fill tube with a hair dryer on low.
  • Test valve: Replace the inlet valve if it drips when not energized.
