How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the machine immediately if you see water leaking. Risk of electric shock.
Step-by-step:
- 1. Inspect water tank: Remove the tank, fill it over a sink, and check for cracks or leaks. Inspect the bottom valve seal for damage.
- 2. Check tank seating: Ensure the tank is pushed fully into place and that no foreign objects prevent proper sealing.
- 3. Examine drip tray area: Remove the drip tray and grounds container. Look for water trails indicating where the leak originates.
- 4. Internal inspection (advanced): Remove the side panel and inspect hoses and connectors while briefly running a rinse cycle. Stop immediately if water sprays near electrical components.
- 5. Replace faulty parts: Replace a cracked tank or damaged seals with Siemens-approved parts. Internal leaks from the hydraulic block or hoses should be repaired by a Siemens technician.
