Why your Follett ice machine is leaking water
Catching leaking water early on a Follett ice machine is usually straightforward: puddles around or under the appliance — could be drain pan, gasket, water inlet valve, or hose failure. Nine times out of ten it comes down to a cracked or clogged drain pan. Left unaddressed, food or stock can spoil within hours.
Most likely causes
- Cracked reservoir or filter housing
- A cracked or clogged drain pan
- Failed water inlet valve
Known Follett ice machine weak points
- Auger and gearbox wear on the nugget-ice compression system
- Reduced or slow ice output from scale buildup in the water system
- Dispenser agitation and vend-motor faults causing jams or no dispense
- Bearing and seal wear requiring periodic rebuild of the ice-making head
Quick check — and when it's not DIY
There's one thing worth checking before you book anyone: trace exactly where water first appears, since that narrows down whether it's a hose, gasket, or drain issue. Also, check for an obviously loose supply line, a door gasket that isn't sealing, or a drain you can reach and clear yourself. If it's still acting up after that, a leak that keeps coming back is typically inside the sealed system or behind a panel, and chasing it further risks water damage to electrical components best left to a technician.
