Possible Causes
Clogged internal drain, misaligned drain pan, excessive frost melting, or a cracked evaporator tray.
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before working inside the bin.
- Clear drain: Locate the internal drain hole at the bottom of the bin or evaporator area. Use a small brush or pipe cleaner to remove debris, then flush with warm water.
- Check drain pan alignment: Ensure the pan under the evaporator is properly seated and sloped toward the drain.
- Inspect tray for cracks: Look for hairline cracks in the evaporator tray or bin liner where water could escape. Replace damaged parts.
- Defrost excess ice: If heavy frost is present, perform a full manual defrost to restore normal drainage paths.
