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 coffee maker immediately and do not use it while leaking. Water near electrical components is hazardous.
External checks:
- Remove and inspect the water reservoir for cracks or leaks; fill it over a sink and watch for drips.
- Check that the reservoir is seated properly and that its bottom valve is not stuck open.
If water is clearly coming from inside the base, internal hoses or seals have likely failed. Do not open the unit unless you are trained; contact a technician for hose and seal inspection and replacement.
