Freestanding Ice Maker: Why does my freestanding ice maker leak water?

The recirculation pump is in the water reservoir. The recirculation pump distributes water over the evaporator plate to form the ice slab. If the recirculation pump is getting the proper voltage but isn't running or pumping water, replace the recirculation pump.

The water inlet valve is behind the lower front grill of the ice maker. The water inlet valve opens to fill the water reservoir when the ice maker first starts and to replace water the freezes on the evaporator plate. If the valve doesn't open or gets clogged with debris, replace the water inlet valve. Also replace the water inlet valve if it fails to shut properly.

The drain pump removes water from of the reservoir as needed during the ice production process. The drain pump also removes water from ice that's slowly melting ice in the ice bin. If the drain doesn't run when energized or fails to pump water when running, replace it.
