Possible Causes

Cracked silicone hose, Loose hose clamp on pump or boiler, Worn O-ring on boiler outlet, Cracked water tank or tank seal

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Immediately switch OFF, unplug, and do not use the machine until the leak is resolved.

  • Check external components: Remove and inspect the water tank for cracks and check the tank outlet seal. Replace the tank or seal if damaged.
  • Inspect drip tray: Ensure the drip tray is not simply overflowing. Empty and clean it.
  • Internal inspection (advanced): Remove the side or rear panel and look for wet hoses or joints while running a brief cycle (use extreme caution and avoid contact with live parts).
  • Replace damaged parts: Replace any cracked hoses or O-rings. Tighten hose clamps carefully.
  • If unsure: Because leaks can cause electrical hazards, have a SMEG technician perform a pressure test and repair.
