An objective of the present invention is to provide an ice water purifier capable of detecting condensation and leakage which can stop the operation of an ice water purifier in case of serious leakage and control to continue the operation of the water purifier in case of condensation or minute leakage. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the ice water purifier capable of detecting condensation and leakage comprises: an ice making unit making ice; a drain tank installed underneath the ice making unit to store drainage water of the ice making unit; a base plate arranged on the lower side of the internal space of a water purifier to collect condensation or leakage water; and a drain pump to discharge drainage water in the drain tank or water of a water collection part to the outside. The drain tank and the water collection part are connected to the drain pump via a solenoid valve. The solenoid valve is connected to the drain tank through a first water inlet line, is connected to the water collection part of the base plate through a second water inlet line, and is connected to the drain pump through a drain line. 본 발명의 일 실시에 따른 결로 및 누수의 감지가 가능한 얼음 정수기는, 얼음을 생성하는 제빙 유닛; 상기 제빙 유닛의 하방에 설치되어 제빙 유닛의 배수를 저장하는 배수 탱크; 정수기 내부 공간의 하측에 배치되어 결로나 누수를 집수하는 베이스 플레이트; 및 상기 배수 탱크 내의 배수 또는 집수부의 물을 외부로 배출하기 위한 배수 펌프;를 포함하고, 상기 배수 탱크 및 집수부는 솔레노이드 밸브를 경유하여 상기 배수 펌프와 연통되고, 상기 솔레노이드 밸브는 제1 입수 라인을 통해 상기 배수 탱크와 연결되고, 제2 입수 라인을 통해 상기 베이스 플레이트의 집수부와 연결되며, 배수 라인을 통해 상기 배수 펌프로 연결된다.
