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.
  • Verify water level control: Test the water level sensor or float. If it allows overfilling, replace the sensor assembly.
