Display shows E08 and the machine leaks internally or stops mid-cycle with water under the unit.

Safety first: Switch off, unplug the machine, and do not use it until the leak is located. Water and electricity are a dangerous combination.

This error is often triggered by an internal leak detected by a float or moisture sensor.

• External inspection: Remove the water tank and drip tray. Check for visible cracks, loose hoses, or water trails inside accessible areas.
• Dry the base: If the base has a removable panel, carefully dry any pooled water with absorbent cloths.
• Check O-rings: Inspect the brew group seals and outlet spout seals for damage or flattening. Replace if worn.
• Do not bypass safety: Do not attempt to operate the machine with covers removed and live power applied unless you are a trained technician.
• Professional repair recommended: Cracked thermoblocks, leaking overpressure valves, or internal hose replacements require disassembly and pressure testing.
