Possible Causes

Cracked water tank, Leaking silicone hose, Failed O-rings on internal connectors, Cracked thermoblock or plastic manifold

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the machine and do not operate it while it is leaking. Water can damage internal electronics.

  • Check water tank: Remove the tank, fill it over a sink, and watch for cracks or leaks. Replace the tank if any are found.
  • Inspect external seals: Check the tank outlet valve and the machine's inlet for damaged seals. Replace worn O-rings with Philips-compatible parts.
  • Dry and test: Dry the base of the machine, then place it on a dry paper towel and run a short hot water cycle. Observe where the water appears to pinpoint the leak area.
  • Internal inspection (advanced): Remove the side panel and inspect hoses and connectors for water traces or scale marks. Tighten clamps and replace any cracked parts.

Significant internal leaks should be repaired professionally to prevent damage to the control board and other components.
