How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit and dry the area to prevent slipping or electrical hazards.
Leak tracing steps:
- Inspect reservoir: Remove and visually inspect the water tank for cracks or seam leaks. Replace the Tristar water reservoir if damaged.
- Check water tray: Ensure the water tray is correctly seated and not tilted, which can cause spills.
- Examine hoses: Remove panels to access internal silicone or vinyl hoses. Look for loose clamps, splits, or disconnections.
- Clear drain: If your model has a drain, ensure the drain hole and hose are not blocked.
- Test after repair: Refill with water and run a short cycle while observing for leaks before fully reassembling.
