How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the machine and remove the dirty water tank.
- Empty and clean tank: Empty the tank and rinse thoroughly. Remove any debris from the sealing surfaces.
- Inspect gasket: Check the rubber gasket around the tank lid or base. If torn, flattened, or missing, replace the gasket or the entire tank assembly.

- Do not overfill: Ensure you empty the tank before it reaches the maximum fill line to prevent overflow leaks.
