Water leaking from underneath the machine during or after use.

Safety first: Unplug the machine and allow it to cool completely. Water inside the chassis can contact live parts.

• Remove outer panels: Carefully remove the top and side panels to inspect inside. Place towels under the machine.
• Identify leak source: Fill the reservoir and run the pump briefly while observing. Look for drips at hose connections, boiler fittings, pump, and valves.
• Tighten fittings: Gently tighten any loose compression or threaded fittings. Do not overtighten brass parts.
• Replace damaged hoses: If a silicone hose is cracked or hardened, cut a new piece of the same diameter and length and secure with proper clamps.
• Boiler or vacuum breaker leaks: If the leak is from the boiler seam or vacuum breaker, the gasket or valve likely needs replacement. This is a moderate to advanced repair.
