Possible Causes
Cracked water reservoir or outlet fitting, Loose or split silicone hose inside, Failed O-ring at thermoblock inlet, Overfilled reservoir causing overflow
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the coffee maker immediately if you see water near electrical parts. Do not operate a leaking appliance.
Steps:
- Identify leak source: Remove the water reservoir and inspect for cracks or leaks by filling it over a sink. Check the bottom valve for drips.
- Check external connections: Inspect the area where the tank meets the base for damaged seals or gaskets.
- Avoid overfilling: Fill only to the MAX line. Overfilling can cause overflow that appears as a leak.
- Internal inspection (advanced): With the unit unplugged and bottom cover removed, look for wet hoses, loose clamps, or mineral deposits indicating a slow leak. Tighten hose clamps gently and replace any cracked hoses.
- Replace damaged parts: A cracked reservoir, outlet fitting, or O-ring must be replaced with the correct Capresso parts to restore a watertight seal.
