Either condensation or a crack in the ice bin is the most likely, but it could also be a lack of cleaning / descaling and that water is spraying inside and finding its way outside of the case.

I have had a career dealing with icemaker issues. :>)

SOURCE: water leaking and ice in bottom shelf of freezer

Chances are you have a bad seal around the door if it's leaking from the inside which causes the ice to form as well, or if it's leaking from under the freezer you lave a bad heating element that evaporates the water collected in the pan under the freezer or you have a clogged hose that goes to the pan under the freezer which also causes the ice to form because the water has no place to go. Defrost and try to find a way to blow out the hose that goes from your freezer to the pan under the freezer and that should take care of your problem.

SOURCE: Ice build up on bottom of freezer. Water leaks out.

Your problem is possibly one of two things. The ice maker is leaking or the defrost tray behind the rear panel inside freezer back wall is clogged with ice or something else. If you know its not the ice maker unplug the refrigerator and remove the back panel to see if the drain is blocked there, Let me know, Sea Breeze

SOURCE: Magic Chef CTB1722 refrigerator leaking water from

Your evaporator coils frost up in normal use and every eight hours or so the entire unit shuts down and the defrost heater comes on to melt the frost. This cycle last about 20 minutes. The melted frost drips into a drain pan and through a drain tube to the drain tray under the freezer/refrigerator where it's evaporated by the condenser fan.


Your drain tube may be stopped up with ice at the upper end because it drains too slow because it's stopped up at the lower end in the evaporator pan under the unit at the floor. It can get dust and mold in it. Once you get the ice out at the top a little pressure with a turkey baster will usually clear it out. Flushing it out with hot water and clorox may help. Make sure it drains quick enough to prevent refreezing. . The drain should be located below the evaporator coils on the lower back of the freezer.

Manitowoc Undercounter Ice Maker (older) will turn on but won't run WASH cycle. Help :)

In addition to the standard safety controls, your
Manitowoc ice machine features built-in safety limits
that will stop the ice machine if conditions arise which
could cause a major component failure.
Before calling for service, re-start the ice machine
using the following procedure:
1. Move the ON/OFF/WASH switch to OFF and then
back to ON.
2. If the safety limit feature has stopped the ice
machine, it will restart after a short delay.
If the ice machine stops again, the condition
has reoccurred. Call for service.

Ice maker is working, but there is water in the bottom of bin

You will need to pull out what ice you have in the bin to get to the drain. Once you have done that, take a hose and force water thru the drain. You may have to snake the drain if is more than a build-up of ice. Once the drain is working, clean out the bin with ice machine cleaner and sanitizer. Restart the machine and make sure no water is dripping from the evaporator above. If there is, it needs to be cleaned.
