Possible Causes

Cracked water reservoir, Loose or split water hose, Leaking pump housing, Drain plug not seated properly (if equipped)

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit and dry the area to avoid slipping or electrical hazards.

Steps:

  • Check reservoir: Remove and inspect the water tank for cracks or damage. Fill it over a sink to see if it leaks.
  • Inspect drain plug: If your model has a drain plug at the bottom, ensure it is fully inserted and the gasket is intact.
  • Open cabinet: Remove the lower or rear panel and look for water trails around hoses, pump, and connections.
  • Tighten clamps: Gently tighten any loose hose clamps. Replace any hoses that are brittle, split, or discolored.
  • Replace leaking parts: If the pump housing or reservoir is cracked, replace the component with an OBH Nordica-compatible spare.
  • Test for leaks: Refill with water and run a short cycle while observing for any new leaks before fully reassembling.
