How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit and move it to a sink or area where water spillage is safe.
Steps to correct unwanted draining:
- 1. Inspect drain plug: Check that the rear or bottom drain plug is fully inserted and tightened. Replace the rubber gasket if it is cracked or flattened.
- 2. Examine drain spout: Look for cracks around the drain outlet. Replace the drain assembly if damaged.
- 3. Check reservoir seating: Ensure the reservoir is properly positioned and locked into place so its outlet seals correctly with the base.
- 4. Test with water: Fill the reservoir and observe for leaks around the drain and base before powering the unit.
Note: Always reinstall the drain plug securely after cleaning or storage.
