Water leaking from the clean water/solution tank when removed from the machine.

Safety first: Work over a sink or tub to avoid spills.

• Inspect outlet valve: Turn the tank upside down and examine the spring-loaded valve. Press it gently to ensure it moves freely.
• Clean valve area: Rinse under warm water to remove debris or dried detergent from the seal.
• Check for cracks: Look closely around the outlet for hairline cracks. Replace the tank if the plastic is damaged.
• Replace valve seal: If the rubber seal is deformed or hardened, replace the valve assembly or entire tank according to Rowenta parts availability.
