How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before working inside the ice compartment.
Steps to correct internal leaks:
- Clear internal drain: Locate the drain hole in the ice compartment and clear any ice or debris with warm water and a soft brush.
- Check water distributor: Ensure the water distribution tube or spray bar is properly seated and not spraying water outside the evaporator area.
- Inspect ice tray: Look for cracks or warping that allow water to spill. Replace the tray if damaged.
