Maintenance Tips

• Clean the Drain Pump Regularly: Periodically clean the drain pump to prevent mold, mildew, and residue buildup. Use mild soap and water to wipe down the pump and its components.
• Inspect for Clogs: Check the drain pump and associated hoses for any blockages. Clear any debris or buildup that could hinder the flow of water and cause drainage issues.
• Check the Power Supply: Ensure the drain pump is properly connected to a working power source and that it operates smoothly. If the pump isn’t functioning, inspect the connections and test the system.
• Ensure Proper Drainage: Confirm that the drainage line is installed correctly, with a downward slope to allow proper water flow and prevent backups.
• Maintain the Ice Machine: Regularly clean the ice machine and its components, such as the evaporator, to maintain the overall system and avoid issues with drainage or ice production.
• Monitor for Unusual Noises: Listen for any unusual sounds when the pump is running. If the pump sounds noisy or runs intermittently, it could be a sign of wear or a malfunction.
• Replace the Pump as Needed: If the pump starts showing signs of failure, such as leaking, inability to drain water, or reduced performance, replace it with a new one to maintain proper function.
• Annual Professional Check-Up: Schedule a professional inspection of the ice machine and drain pump once a year to ensure all components are in good condition and functioning properly.
