How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the machine immediately if you see water leaking. Do not operate until the leak is resolved.

Step 1 – External checks

  • Fill the tank and place it on a dry surface to check for leaks.

Step 2 – Internal inspection (advanced)

  • Unplug and remove the cover.
  • Look for water trails, mineral deposits, or damp areas around hoses and fittings.
  • Tighten or replace hose clamps and replace any cracked hoses with high-temperature food-grade silicone.
  • Inspect the thermoblock outlet and pump connections for leaks.

Step 3 – Drying
