Possible Causes

Damaged clean tank outlet valve, Perished tank base seal, Debris on tank seating area, Cracked clean water tank

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit and remove the clean water tank.

  • Inspect valve: Check the spring-loaded valve on the tank base. Ensure it moves freely and the rubber seal is not torn.
  • Clean seating area: Wipe the base where the tank sits to remove debris that may prevent a good seal.
  • Check for cracks: Fill the tank and hold it over a sink to look for leaks from seams or the handle area.
  • Replace tank or seals: If the valve or tank is damaged, replace the clean water tank assembly or its seal kit.
