Dark matter scattering off of nuclei in the sun and subsequent DM self-annihilations can lead to an enhanced neutrino flux which is in principle detectable at IceCube. We study possible event rates considering a radiative seesaw model containing scalar triplet and singlet-doublet fermion dark matter candidates. In the case of scalar dark matter, the absence of a spin dependent scattering on nuclei results in a low capture rate in the Sun, which is reflected in an event rate of less than one event per year. For singlet-doublet fermion dark matter there exists a spin dependent scattering process next to the spin independent one, allowing for higher event rates. Due to a correlation between both processes, the stringent limits on the spin dependent cross section set by XENON1T exclude most points detectable at IceCube.
