Coffee maker leaks water under the machine during or after brewing.

Safety first: Unplug the coffee maker immediately. Water inside an electrical appliance is dangerous.

• Identify source: Remove the water tank and check for cracks or leaks by filling it over a sink. Inspect the tank's bottom valve and seals.
• Check external fittings: Look around the base and back of the Kenwood machine for obvious drips or cracks.
• Dry the area: Wipe up any spilled water and allow the machine to dry completely before further inspection.
• Do not operate with internal leak: If the tank is intact but water still appears under the unit, an internal hose or boiler seal is likely leaking. Internal repairs require disassembly and should be done by a service technician.
