Possible Causes

Damaged tank valve seal, Debris preventing valve from closing, Warped tank neck, Incorrect tank installed on base

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit and carefully remove the tank to avoid spilling more water. Dry the base with towels.

  • 1. Inspect tank valve:
    • Look at the spring-loaded valve on the bottom of the tank.
    • Check the rubber seal for cracks or deformation.
  • 2. Clean valve area:
    • Rinse away any debris or mineral buildup around the valve.
  • 3. Check tank neck fit:
    • Ensure the tank sits correctly on the base and the valve aligns with the base inlet.
  • 4. Test over a sink:
    • Fill the tank, install the cap, and press the valve pin over a sink to confirm it opens and closes smoothly.
  • 5. Replace tank or valve assembly:
    • If the valve does not seal properly, replace the tank or valve assembly as supplied by Crane.
