Why is my Perlick ice maker leaking water on the floor?

The most common cause is a failed drain pump or a clogged drain line, which lets melt water back up and overflow. A loose fitting or a sticking inlet valve can also leak. We find the source and repair it, then check the drain path.

Does well water around Lancaster ruin refrigerator ice makers?

It does not ruin them, but it wears the inlet valve and clogs the filter faster. Changing the refrigerator filter on time and filtering sediment at the well helps a lot. If the valve clogs anyway, replacing it is a common repair.

My Lancaster ice maker makes tiny cubes. Is the ice maker failing?

Usually the ice maker is fine and the water flow is low. Check the filter, the line behind the refrigerator and the shutoff valve first. If flow is good and the cubes stay small, we test the inlet valve.

Perlick Ice Makers: What We Check First

Perlick under-counter ice makers are dedicated machines that make and store ice in a single built-in cabinet. Water is circulated over a chilled evaporator, and ice builds layer by layer before a harvest cycle releases it into the insulated bin. Melt water and rinse water must leave the unit, either by gravity to a floor drain or through a drain pump when there is no drain below. That drain path is behind a large share of ice maker problems.

Drain pump failure flooding the bin or the floor
Scale and biofilm causing thin, cloudy or slow cubes
Sticking water inlet valve starving or overfilling the reservoir
Bin sensor failing to stop production when full

The full explanation, including what you can safely check yourself and when repair beats replacement, is in our Perlick ice maker repair guide.

Water supply first

An ice maker can only make what the water line delivers. On wells outside Lancaster, sediment and iron clog the refrigerator's filter and the fine screen inside its inlet valve, so cubes come out small, hollow or not at all. Replacing the filter is the first step, and a whole-house sediment filter kept on schedule protects the valve over time.

In older homes in town, the line to the refrigerator may be thin tubing added long after the kitchen was built. Those lines kink when the refrigerator is moved and the valves feeding them can corrode partly closed. Pull the refrigerator out carefully, check the tubing for kinks and make sure the valve is fully open.

When the problem is in the refrigerator

If water reaches the refrigerator but the ice maker still does not cycle, the fill tube may be frozen or the ice maker module may have failed. Lancaster visits may be grouped into route days, so note the refrigerator's model number before you call. The technician tests the valve, fill tube and module, tells you whether the fault is plumbing or appliance, and quotes the repair before starting.
