How do I stop my Emerson im90t portable ice maker from leaking at drain plug?

SOURCE: Ice Maker leaking water in freezer and won't stop making ice

The filter should be before the fridge and should not affect it it sounds like the water valve from the fridge is defective .Other possibility is the icemaker head is defective and needs changing.

SOURCE: ice maker leaks inside freezer

check the water discharge hose which fills the ice maker after ice is dumped into the bin. the line is located in most cases at one end of the ice maker and allows the water to flow into a funnel like device above the ice maker mold. the hose has the diameter of a penny, it is probably misaligned with the ice maker itself/

there is a little sensor inside on the top right, it is a little wire if there is anything on it it will not work, i took at small pair of pliers and gently cleaned it

SOURCE: We have an Emerson IM90 portable ice maker which has worked fine for months. Now it is only making 5 ice cubes per baych. Any ideas?

when mine did that i got out the air compressor and blew all of the dirty and stuff off of the moter and low and behold it worked great but be carefully I tore a blade off the fan and now it runs alittle noisey. still makes great ice now I gonna find another fan blades. you need to unscrew the back to do this.

SOURCE: My Emerson Portable Ice Maker started makeing a loud grinding sound when pumping water -why?

I had this same problem that cropped up about 6 months after I purchased the ice maker. When it pumped water into the ice tray, the water pump would make a loud grinding noise. I inspected the pump and found that the impeller was in contact with the bottom of the pump housing. I partially disassembled the pump and inserted a small washer I fabricated out of electrical tape to enlarge the gap between the impeller and the bottom of the pump housing. I also took care not to over-tighten the screws when reassembling the pump. The grinding noise went away completely, and it's back to normal operation now. Even if you have no idea what you're doing, like me, it's a 15 minute fix with practically zero materials cost.

I have no idea what caused the problem originally, unless there was a washer that disintegrated over several months' worth of use.
