What NO WATER and DRAIN blinking
actually means.
The nugget machine stops making ice when a temperature sensor in the bin feels the ice. When that sensor reads open or shorted, the control blinks NO WATER and DRAIN together. Without it, the machine cannot tell when the bin is full.

What to do when NO WATER and DRAIN blinking shows on the ice machineKind of codeSensors and bin control
A sensor is telling the board something that is not true: a bin control that reads full on an empty bin, or empty while ice spills over the top, a curtain switch stuck open, a temperature sensor out of range, or an eye on a dispenser that no longer sees the cup. Scale and slime on a probe or an ultrasonic sensor cause much of it. Clearing ice piled against the bin control is a safe first step; testing and replacing a sensor is a technician's.

An ice machine error code may show as a number on a small display, a pattern of blinking lights on the control board, a colored light on the front, or a machine that stops with one indicator flashing.

What not to do
