Water leaks from the bottom of the machine or inside the cabinet during operation.

Safety first: Turn OFF and unplug the machine. Close the water supply and allow boilers to cool and depressurize. Water near live electrical parts is dangerous.

Steps:

• Remove panels: Take off side and rear panels to visually inspect for signs of water trails, corrosion, or active drips.
• Identify leak source: Run the machine briefly (if safe) and observe where water emerges: from fittings, hoses, boiler seams, or valves.
• Tighten fittings: Gently tighten any loose compression nuts on copper lines. Do not overtighten, as this can crack fittings.
• Replace damaged hoses: Any cracked or swollen silicone hoses should be replaced with high-temperature food-grade hose of the correct size.
• Check safety valve and vacuum breaker: If these components are constantly venting water, they may be scaled or failing and should be replaced.
• Boiler gasket leaks: If water seeps from boiler flanges, a boiler teardown and gasket replacement is required; this is best handled by a professional technician.
