Water leaking inside the bin, causing slushy ice or standing water.

Safety First: Disconnect power before working inside the ice bin. Use only food-safe cleaning materials.

• Clear bin drain: Remove all ice and flush the bin drain with hot water. Use a flexible brush to clear any slime and debris.
• Check drain fitting: Inspect the connection between the bin and the drain hose for leaks. Tighten clamps or replace gaskets as necessary.
• Inspect drain hose: Ensure the hose is not kinked or elevated above the bin outlet. Replace the hose if it is brittle or cracked.
• Sanitize bin: Clean and sanitize the bin interior to prevent recurring slime buildup.

When to call a technician: If the bin liner itself is cracked or leaking, professional replacement may be required.
