How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power before clearing drains.

  • Locate internal drain: Identify the drain hole or channel beneath the evaporator or bin in your Zanussi ice maker.
  • Clear blockage: Use a soft brush or pipe cleaner to remove debris. Flush with warm (not boiling) water to melt any ice plugs.
  • Check drain pan alignment: Ensure the internal pan is correctly seated and sloped toward the drain outlet.
  • Verify drain pump: If fitted, test the drain pump for operation and replace if it fails to run or pump water away.
