Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the coffee maker immediately and do not use it until the leak is resolved. Water inside an electrical appliance is a shock hazard.
External checks:
- Reservoir inspection: Remove the water tank and check for cracks or a damaged outlet valve seal. Replace the reservoir if damaged.
- Carafe and lid: Ensure the carafe is not cracked and that the lid is properly fitted.
Internal inspection:
- Remove the base or side panel to inspect all silicone hoses and hose clamps.
- Look for signs of water trails, mineral deposits, or corrosion to locate the leak source.
- Tighten or replace hose clamps as needed. Replace any hose that is brittle, cracked, or swollen.
- Inspect the boiler or heating block for cracks; if cracked, the entire assembly must be replaced.
Do not operate the machine with any known internal leak.
