Possible Causes

Loose or cracked inlet hose, Leaking water reservoir, Blocked or misrouted drain hose, Overfilling due to faulty water level sensor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit and shut off the water supply immediately.

  • Inspect inlet hose: Check the hose from the household supply to the ice maker for cracks, loose fittings, or corrosion. Replace if damaged and tighten all connections.
  • Check reservoir and internal hoses: Remove panels to inspect the reservoir and internal tubing. Replace any cracked plastic parts or hoses and secure with new clamps.
  • Clear drain hose: Ensure the drain hose is not blocked or routed uphill. Flush with warm water to remove clogs.
  • Verify water level control: Test the float or level sensor to ensure it stops filling at the correct level. Replace if it allows overfilling.
