How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the coffee maker immediately and keep it away from power sources. Do not operate a leaking appliance.

  • Identify source: Remove the water tank and check if water leaks from the tank itself. If so, replace the tank.
  • Check external seals: Inspect the tank outlet seal and the mating connector on the base for cracks or deformation.
  • Dry the area: Wipe up any spilled water around and under the unit.
  • Internal leaks: If water appears from vents or the bottom panel, an internal hose or heater joint is likely leaking. This requires disassembly and should be repaired by a qualified technician.
