How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug before internal inspection.
Steps:
- 1. Monitor leak pattern: Note whether the drip tray fills quickly after brewing or even when idle. This helps identify the leaking component.
- 2. Clean brew group: Remove and clean the brew group. Inspect and lubricate O-rings and seals.
- 3. Inspect valves (advanced): Open the housing and locate the three-way valve and overpressure valve. Check for scale buildup and leaks at their outlets leading to the drip tray.
Resolution: Replace worn brew group seals, the three-way valve, or overpressure valve as needed.
