Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit and turn off water supply immediately to prevent further leakage.
Steps:
- Inspect around unit: Look for visible water under or around the Café combo. Mop up any standing water.
- Check hoses: Pull the unit forward and inspect the rear inlet hoses and drain hose for drips at connections. Tighten hose clamps or replace washers as needed.
- Check door gasket: Examine the rubber door boot for tears, holes, or debris preventing a proper seal.
- Dry base pan: If accessible, remove the lower front panel and dry any water in the base pan. The leak sensor/float must be dry for the error to clear.
When to call a technician: If water reappears in the base or the source of the leak is not obvious, a technician should inspect internal hoses, the tub, and pump connections.
