How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the machine immediately. Do not operate with an internal leak; risk of electric shock.

Steps:

  • Remove the water tank and check the outlet seal for cracks or debris. Replace the seal or tank if damaged.
  • Dry the exterior and place paper towels under the machine. Refill the tank and observe for drips without powering on.
  • If water appears from the base, remove the bottom or side panels to inspect internal silicone hoses and clamps.
  • Tighten or replace any loose clamps. Replace cracked hoses with food-grade silicone tubing of the same diameter.
  • Inspect thermoblock inlet/outlet fittings for corrosion or leaks; reseal or replace as needed.

Resolution: After repairs, perform a leak test by running water-only cycles while observing the interior. If leaks persist near electrical components, have a technician inspect and repair.
