Water leaks around the filter basket area or from the top of the machine.

Safety first: Unplug and allow the machine to cool before cleaning up hot water or coffee.

• Reduce coffee quantity: Ensure you are not exceeding the recommended number of scoops for the selected cup size on your Morphy Richards model.
• Check filter type: Use the correct size paper filter or the supplied permanent filter. Incorrect filters can collapse and block flow.
• Clean drip stop valve: Remove the filter holder and press the drip stop valve repeatedly under running water to clear any grounds. It should move freely and spring back.
• Seat filter holder correctly: Reinstall the filter holder so it sits flat and locks into place. An unseated holder can cause leaks around the rim.

If overflow continues with correct loading and a clean filter, the drip stop assembly may be damaged and should be replaced.
