How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug immediately if you see water leaking near electrical parts. Do not operate the unit until the leak is fixed.
Identify leak source:
- Remove the carafe and reservoir, dry the exterior of the machine.
- Place paper towels under the unit and run a short brew cycle with a small amount of water while observing (from a safe distance) where water emerges.
Internal inspection:
- Unplug and remove the bottom cover.
- Check all silicone hoses for cracks, splits, or loose clamps.
- Inspect the joints at the aluminum heating tube, flow sensor, and any pump for signs of dripping or mineral trails.
- Examine the water reservoir and its outlet fitting for cracks.
When to replace:
- Replace damaged silicone hoses and secure with new clamps.
- Replace worn O-rings or gaskets at leaking joints.
- Replace a cracked water reservoir or reservoir outlet fitting.
Warning: Ensure all internal parts are completely dry before reassembly and testing to avoid electrical shorts.
