Does this ice maker need a drain line?

No, it does not need a drain but does require defrosting every month or so. Only had ours a mint now but have been very satisfied so far, quite running and maks ice fast .

It does require a water line, this particular model comes with a pump, so it needs access to a drain line, but not a drain right under it.

The new ice maker should not do that, I installed one and it worked perfectly and cranked tons of ice. You do need to make sure it is plugged in properly and there is no damage to the power cable or connectors. I think I left my old cable and reconnected it to the unit and it worked fine.

I don't think so. We just removed the old ice maker, plugged in the electrical and screwed the new ice maker into the place. Didn't come with the wire that turns it off or on either.

On the right side of the ice maker is a wire that acts as a sensor. In the UP position it tells the ice maker to stop producing ice. In the down position it signals the ice maker to make more ice. It often gets stuck in the up position. Just reach back and pull it down. The water filter does not have to be in the refrig for the ice maker to work. I assume that you are able to get water through the water dispenser; because no water, no ice.

No. It drains much better than my old one. There are holes in the entire bowl area, just not on the rim/footing. A little tip when draining releases any trapped liquid.

No. The drain is on the bottom. You have to get on the floor to drain it with a hose or bucket.

The unit requires an electrical plug and " tubing to a water supply. If you remove the top lid there is a " quick connect to a small section of white " tubing that runs out the back of the unit. I removed that piece and replaced it with a long section that I ran to a RO water filter. You could go to a hardware store and get some " icemaker tubing and a fitting to splice it between a cold water shutoff and the supply line of a nearby faucet. Placing a water filter in the line is optional but there is no filter in the unit.

Yes. One hand to dial your phone to call customer service and another to write down the phone number of the authorized service center. Tomorrow I will be getting the ice maker replaced for the third or fourth time. The service man has been here so many times to fix this refrigerator I can't remember the exact number. My sister has the same refrigerator and has had it fixed four or five times. There was a class action suit against LG for this refrigerator. When the ice maker is working and the water is dispensing all you need is one hand to get water. When the ice maker is broken it does not dispense any water so you don't need any hands at all.

Yes it does, it has a sensor that shuts the machine off. once it gets low again it will make ice again.

Nope. Just make sure you drain the water in the outlet pipe. Or make sure that you pump antifreeze into the outlet pipe

I noticed just a little bit more of a flow now than without. Not enough for an icemaker. You will need a pressurized water tank, 5 gallon or bigger, like the one that comes with an RO system, that may help.

No. You have to use the Shut Off Arm from the old icemaker. It's very simple to remove and install.

If you can get it to connect to bolth the icemaker and the ro unit without leaking, you can but I would recommend sticking with the push connect plastic line. Its easier to route and work with. It my save you a future headache

Yes, the unit comes with a drain hose. It is a 60 pint machine and performs really well. We are quite pleased with the purchase,

Yes, the product has a drain however, drain hole is small and drainage is slow. I have the unit next to a sink, therefore - I manually empty the water out by just tipping it over to empty the water. The unit is heavy - so the process is rather clumsy. I would not be deterred from purchasing the product due to that issue.
