How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the machine immediately and dry any spilled water to prevent slipping or electric shock.

Steps:

  • 1. Inspect water tank: Remove and fill the tank over a sink. Check for cracks or leaks around seams and outlet valve. Replace if leaking.
  • 2. Check tank seal: Inspect the O-ring or gasket at the tank outlet. Replace if flattened, cracked, or missing.
  • 3. Internal leak check (advanced): Remove the housing and look for water trails around hoses, clamps, and the boiler. Tighten clamps and replace any cracked hoses or fittings.

Resolution: Do not operate the machine until all leaks are repaired and the interior is completely dry.
