Water leaking from around the water tank area on the back or side of the Philips coffee maker.

Safety: Unplug the machine before inspecting the tank area.

• Inspect tank outlet: Look at the rubber seal or O-ring on the bottom of the tank. If it is flattened, cracked, or missing, replace the tank or seal.
• Clean tank seat: Wipe the machine's tank inlet area to remove coffee dust or scale that may prevent a proper seal.
• Check for cracks: Hold the tank up to a light source and look for hairline cracks, especially near the outlet. Replace the tank if any are found.
• Seat tank firmly: Insert the tank straight and push it fully in until it clicks or feels secure.

If leaking continues despite a good tank and clean seat, the internal inlet fitting may be damaged and should be replaced by a technician.
