Coffee maker leaks water from the bottom of the unit during or after brewing.

Safety first: Unplug the coffee maker immediately and do not use it until the leak is resolved. Water and electricity are a dangerous combination.

• Identify leak source: Place the unit on a dry paper towel, fill the reservoir with water (unit unplugged), and observe where water appears.
• Inspect reservoir: Remove and visually inspect the reservoir for cracks, especially around the bottom valve area.
• Check internal tubing: Remove the bottom cover and look for wet spots, mineral trails, or cracked silicone tubing. Tighten or replace hose clamps as needed.
• Replace damaged parts: Replace any cracked tubes, O-rings, or fittings with food-grade, heat-resistant parts of the same size.
• Do not seal with glue alone: Avoid using household glues or sealants inside the water path; they may not be food-safe or heat-resistant.
