Water leaks from the bottom of the coffee maker during or after brewing.
Safety Warning
This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.
If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.
Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance immediately and do not use it until the leak is resolved. Water and electricity are dangerous together.
- Check external components: Remove the water tank and inspect for cracks or damage. Fill it over a sink to see if it leaks.
- Inspect carafe and lid: Ensure the glass carafe and lid are not cracked and are seated correctly on the hot plate.
- Internal inspection (advanced): Remove the base cover. Look for water trails or mineral deposits around the aluminium heating block, silicone hoses, and connectors. Tighten any spring clips and reseat hoses fully.
- Replace damaged parts: If a hose is split or the heating block is leaking at a crimped joint, replace the affected part rather than attempting to seal it with glue.
Do not operate the coffee maker with an internal leak present. If you cannot locate the source, have it inspected by a technician.
