how to fix the leak?

If you find out please let me know. It still leaks. We have to chip out the icd weekly before it melts on the floor. We have tried taking off the back and unclogging some of the tubes and it did not work. Tried to call company but they can't help unless I want to pay $$$ for a new warranty.

There is a grommet (ruber cap with slit) on the drain line that is designed to let water flow out but seal when not in defrost mode. Original design was sized incorrectly and it will clog and freeze cold not allowing water to drain in defrost and run onto bottom of freezer. Cheap part but big headache.

You can go under the fabric & get to the leak. Then use a good quality bicycle patch to repair the the uninflated float. Let the patch cure for 24 hours before you re inflate the float.

Yes ours is leaking also, what have you tried? My husband thinks he needs to tork the screws tighter. Wanted me to see if anyone else had this problem and how they fixed it.

I just got one and it leaked out the hole in the back. I found the problem to be the way the tank was molded. The ribs in the tank shrink more during the molding process, so the area where the round rubber seal hits the tank isn't flat, hence the leak. I bought some epoxy for plastic and put it in the grooves where the seal hits. That seems to have stopped the leak even with a full tank of water. The epoxy cost about $6 at hardware. After the epoxy started to harden, I scraped off excess and the sanded with fine sandpaper to make smooth. It took 1/2 hr to do but worth the effort. I hope this helps someone that is frustrated with the unit.

Depends on where it is leaking. Use teflon tape on the thread or check the washers.

Mine leaked on day one and never worked again. Try contacting the company...they said that they had a "bad batch" and have corrected the problem.

I have had this problem 3 times. Returned twice, third time found a fix online: 1) check the gasket, as mentioned. you may need to flip it 2) use pliers or a vice grips to "overtighten" it. If you follow the instructions and tighten by hand, you will have a problem with the metal fitting leaking. This is technically a defect, but it can be corrected very easily.

That's easy, modatu. Inflate the deflated air chamber fully and, using a squirt bottle filled with thick soapy water, spray around (starting where you suspect the leak might be and working outwards) until you see soapy air bubbles caused by the leaking air. Dry the area and mark the hole with a pencil. If there's a possibility of other leaks, keep checking until you have all the holes marked. Afterwards, fully deflate the air chamber and patch.

I agree with both answers from 2/12/15. A clear ID. of the location of the leak will help to determine if what is need is a simple patching repair or the change/replacement of a part. J.P Delgado

There is a rubber type gasket that runs around the outside to stop leaking. You can remove it.

Yes. Turn off water, let area dry, roughen area with sandpaper or steel wool, then press the Water Weld into the area of the leak.

You can try to locate the leak & repair, but will have to cut away fabric. I tried &failed.;

I have had mine for almost 6 months without a drop of leaking. Perhaps try reassembling it.

Unscrew the white part that is between the two chrome parts. There is a little pointed screen with a black rubber part attached to keep it from leaking. There is also another rubber stopper aboue that. Take out the screen and the stopper which is with it. Screw the white back to the chrome. This should do it.

I don't think so! The leaks may be coming from improper positioning. I haven't had a problem. Just make sure you have a good connection.

There is a gasket on top of the pump, sometimes it get's stuck inside the lid. Plug the hoses and drain the water from the pump. Take the gasket from the lid and put it back I to the groove in the top of the pump. That should solve the leak.

Before you try to replace it, you may have the same problem I had. Mine was leaking excessively, but upon reading the included care instructions, I discovered that you can remedy the leakage by reaching one hand inside the container and one outside. Grab the spigot and twist to tighten. It will need to the tightened each time you use it, but if you give a good turn, it will last a while. Hope this helps!
