Coffee maker leaks water from the bottom during or after brewing.

Safety: Unplug the coffee maker and allow it to cool. Water and electricity are a dangerous combination.

• 1. Identify leak source:
  • Place the unit on a dry paper towel and run a short water-only cycle while observing from the side (do not touch internal parts while powered).
  • After unplugging, remove covers and inspect for water trails or mineral deposits.
• 2. Inspect tubing and clamps:
  • Check all silicone hoses for cracks, splits, or loose connections.
  • Tighten or replace hose clamps as needed.
  • Replace any hardened or brittle tubing.
• 3. Examine heater and fittings:
  • Inspect the aluminum or stainless heater block for corrosion or pinhole leaks.
  • Check threaded fittings and seals; replace O-rings if worn or flattened.
  • If the heater body is leaking, replace the entire heater assembly.
• 4. Check reservoir seal:
  • Inspect the reservoir outlet valve and gasket for damage.
  • Replace the reservoir or its seal if it drips when removed from the machine.
