Ice maker leaks water onto the counter or floor

Safety: Unplug the unit and dry any spilled water to prevent slipping or electrical hazards. Turn off water supply if plumbed.

Steps to stop leaks:

• Check drain plug: Inspect the drain cap or plug at the back or bottom of the unit. Tighten securely and ensure the gasket is intact.
• Inspect drain hose: Look for cracks, loose clamps, or disconnections. Replace damaged hoses and secure with proper clamps.
• Examine reservoir: Remove the ice basket and inspect the reservoir for cracks or seams that leak when filled. Replace the reservoir if damaged.
• Check inlet fittings: For plumbed models, inspect the water inlet hose and fittings for drips. Tighten connections and replace any worn washers.
• Level the unit: Ensure the ice maker is level so water does not spill over the sides of the reservoir.
