Possible Causes

Fill tube not seated correctly in ice maker, High water pressure causing splash, Sticking water inlet valve, Cracked ice mold

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit and shut off water supply before inspection.

  • Inspect fill tube: Remove the ice bin and covers to view the fill tube. Ensure it is fully inserted into the ice maker inlet and not spraying water outside the mold.
  • Check for cracks: Examine the ice mold for cracks that allow water to leak out. Replace the Bosch ice maker if cracked.
  • Test valve for seepage: With power off but water on, observe if water drips into the mold. Any drip indicates a sticking valve that must be replaced.
  • Install pressure regulator: If household pressure is very high, add a regulator to the supply line.
