Clean the injector assembly and remove any sediment from the brine cabinet. * **Drain line issues:** Straighten, thaw, or unclog the drain line if it's pinched, frozen, or restricted. * **Clogged injector assembly:** Remove the injector cap and clean the nozzle and throat with a wooden toothpick. Replace the throat if removed. * **Salt bridge:** Break up any salt bridge that has formed by pushing a blunt object like a broom handle into the salt.
