Possible Causes

Misaligned water distribution tube, cracked spray bar, overfilling reservoir, condensation from warm air leaks.

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before working inside the bin area.

  • Inspect water distribution tube: Ensure the tube or spray bar is correctly positioned over the evaporator plate and not spraying directly into the bin.
  • Check for cracks: Remove the tube and inspect for splits that could cause water to drip into the bin. Replace if damaged.
  • Verify door seal: Warm air entering the bin can cause heavy condensation. Clean and inspect the bin door gasket and adjust hinges if needed.
  • Adjust fill level: If the reservoir is overfilling, clean the float or level sensor and ensure it shuts off the water at the correct level.
