Drip tray fills very quickly, even when not much coffee is made.

Safety first: Unplug before internal inspection.

Reducing tray fill:

• Normal behavior check: Many Gorenje machines perform automatic rinses at startup and shutdown. This water goes to the drip tray and is normal.
• Inspect brew group: Clean and lubricate the brew group. Replace outlet valve seals if water continues to drip into the tray after brewing.
• Check bypass valve: Ensure it is not stuck partially open, sending water to the tray instead of the cup.
• Monitor for leaks: With covers off, run a brew cycle and observe whether water is intentionally routed to the tray or leaking from a joint.
