Possible Causes

Cracked or misaligned water reservoir, Loose internal water hose connection, Blocked drain outlet, Overfilled reservoir

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit and wipe up any spilled water to avoid slipping or electrical hazards.

Steps:

  • Check reservoir: Remove the water tank and inspect for cracks or damage. Ensure the cap or valve at the bottom is sealing properly.
  • Inspect seating: Reinsert the reservoir firmly until it clicks or sits flush. A misaligned tank can leak around the seal.
  • Check for overfill: Do not fill above the MAX line. Excess water can overflow internally.
  • Internal hose check (if accessible): Remove the cover and inspect hoses from the reservoir to the pump and tray. Tighten any loose clamps and reseat push-fit connectors.

If the reservoir is cracked or seals are damaged, replace the reservoir assembly. Persistent internal leaks may require professional disassembly.
