Possible Causes
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.
