Russell Hobbs Base Leak / Internal Hose or Seal Failure

Water leaking from under the machine during use.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Split internal solution hose, Loose hose clamp, Damaged pump outlet seal, Cracked spray manifold

Safety first: Unplug the cleaner and remove both tanks. Mop up any spilled water.

External checks: Confirm that neither tank is cracked and that caps and seals are intact.
Open base: Remove the bottom cover to access internal hoses. Look for wet areas while the tanks are filled (do not plug in while open).
Tighten/replace hoses: Refit or replace any loose or split hoses. Use new hose clamps where necessary.
Replace seals: If water is seen around the pump outlet or spray manifold, replace the associated O-rings or gaskets.
