Possible Causes

Three‑way valve leaking to drain, Brew unit seals leaking, Overpressure valve dumping water, Normal auto‑rinse not understood

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Be cautious of hot water in the tray.

  • Understand auto‑rinse: Many L’OR machines perform automatic rinses at startup/shutdown, which send water to the drip tray.
  • Monitor volume: Empty and measure tray contents over a day of normal use. Excessive amounts (hundreds of ml) may indicate a fault.
  • Descale: Run a descaling cycle to help valves seal properly.
  • If tray still fills abnormally fast: The internal valve block or brew unit seals may be leaking and need service.
