Possible Causes

Loose water inlet connection, Cracked inlet hose, Leaking internal water reservoir, Overflow from blocked drain

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Immediately disconnect power and close the water supply valve to prevent flooding and electrical hazards.

Leak isolation:

  • Inspect rear connections: Check the Siemens water inlet hose connection at the rear of the unit for drips. Tighten the coupling and replace any damaged washers.
  • Check hose condition: Replace any hose that shows bulging, cracking, or abrasion.
  • Internal inspection: Remove the lower front or rear panel and look for water trails from the reservoir, pump, or internal tubing. Replace cracked reservoirs or fittings.
  • Clear drain: Ensure the drain hose and tray are not blocked, causing overflow.

After repair: Dry the base pan completely and monitor for new leaks during the next few cycles.
