Ice maker leaking or ice cubes clumping; water dripping into ice bin.

Safety first: Turn off the ice maker and water supply before working on the ice system. Unplug the refrigerator if removing the ice maker.

Step 1 – Inspect fill tube and ice maker:

• Remove the ice bin and observe the fill area for signs of water splashing or ice buildup.
• Check the plastic fill tube for cracks or misalignment.

Step 2 – Check water pressure:

• Ensure the supply valve is fully open.
• Low pressure can cause poor fill patterns; correct any household plumbing restrictions.

Step 3 – Test and replace fill valve if needed:

• If water continues to drip into the ice maker when it should be off, the dual water inlet valve may be leaking internally.
• Replace the valve if it does not shut off completely.

Step 4 – Replace ice maker if overfilling:

• If the ice maker cycles but consistently overfills, replace the ice maker assembly.

When to call a technician: For persistent leaks or if cabinet insulation appears wet, contact a professional.
