Help- it leaks!! We just got ours set up today. It works quickly and makes good ice but we can't ignore the leak. Any suggestions for a quick fix???

it has a tiny little plug on the side, (drain side) check to see if it in securely... a very small piece...

Mine also leaked. I contacted Hamilton Beach and returned it. Perhaps you'll need to do the same.

I did not experience that. No, I don;t think it is normal. It may be that they fill the rod with a gel that freezes and that leaks out, but only a guess. I would return it.

I purchased and received this said same ice maker last week. did the install myself.. You need to make sure that you have an inline filtration system installed. Mine is working great with no plastic taste. Feel free to e-mail me with any questions. chasesouth@rusticfence.com

Did you remove the plastic bushing that used to sit between the water bottle and the cooler? I did and I had some leakage - when I returned the bushing (ring), the fit wasn't great, but the unit sealed such that I can have the lower portion of the filter unit 1/2 full and not have leaking. If that doesn't work, you can try a sheet of silicone or food grade rubber and cut a hole in it for the filter unit to sit. Alternatively, the filter unit comes with a check valve that is supposed to close off the filter from the crock when the crock is full - is that operating?

Not sure what tour question is, but am wondering if you turned off the water supply before installing. I've forgotten this step and had it leak. Once I redid the installation process, it worked quote fine. If that's not the problem, maybe it is a defective filter? Wishing you luck.

I find mine makes all kinds of noises. It sounds like it's from outerspace?! I suppose it's due to all that jazz going on inside. With that being said, it pulls the water in, makes and drops the ice and works quite efficiently. I wouldn't worry about all the noises unless it's not functioning properly...

Have you gotten anywhere with this? We got one and while it works it constantly freezes up -started after maybe an hour of use. They are sending a new one.

We love our water cooler, however the cold is really not very cold. We've been through a few, but will settle with slightly cold water as we haven't found one that cools the water well. As for the leaking, I would definitely get another one. Water damage can be a major problem. If I were you I would find which one has the best reviews for the price you're willing to spend and buy that one.

Not sure, replacement for a galaxy icemaker? Does it look like this unit? Seems that there is really only a few actual different ice makers on older units so if it looks like yours, I think you will be good.

I have 2 of these and no leak issues with either. Where is it leaking? If you are sure it's a seal issue, return and get a new one.

I wonder if you were ever able to fix this? Mine leaks all over the place and in reading other reviews of this DeLonghi product, it seems a common complaint. Also seems like "not fixable." A real bummer.

So far ours is not leaking. That said it was only installed 2 months ago. Thanks for the heads up about this potential issue. I'll keep an eye on it and update my review if it becomes a problem.

Mine did not leak, you prob already saw this but I'll say it anyway, there is a plug in the bottom of the water tub to let the water drain out, is that closed all the way? If it is I would contact the maker.

I had the same problem and I don't know if it was a coincidence or not but after I gave it a good cleaning it stopped. Now maybe you can tell me how to stop it from leaking? It constantly drips and if I don't forget to watch it I end up with water all over my counter.

Hi Vikas, i had that same problem in the beginning, I changed the hose and it still happened but it wasnt drastic, i tightened the hose and since its been fine with no problems. Not sure where it is leaking from but check the hose connections, I hope this helps.

Does the freezer have a ice build up. If not the compressor may be bad. If so then the defrost thermostat maybe bad. You can troubleshoot by checking the board
