Plumbing installation must observe all state and local codes.

These guidelines must be followed when installing drain lines to prevent water from flow-

ing back into the ice maker storage bin and potentially flowing onto the floor causing

water damage:

• Drain lines and fittings must have a 5/8 inch inside diameter

• Drain lines must have a 1 inch drop per 48 inches of run (1/4 inch per foot) and

must not create traps

• The floor drain must be large enough to accommodate drainage from all drains

• Insulate the bin drain line to prevent condensation

If water is backing up into the storage bin, it will be the result of one of the above points

not being followed. Below are examples of gravity drain line installations for your review. If

there must be a trap in the drain line, it is critical that the drain line is vented to assure

proper draining. Without the vent, water will backup until enough pressure builds up to

force the water past the trap. The problem is that the water may backup into the ice bin

before the amount of pressure needed is achieved. Water in the storage bin will cause

the ice in the bin to melt prematurely.

The customer’s complaint will be slow ice production because the ice that has been

made is melting prematurely due to water backing up in the ice bin.
