I have a Kenmore Universal Reverse Osmosis home drinking water system, Model No. 625.347030. The system is 10 years old.
Water is streaming out of a small hole in the top of the RO cap. The water isn't dripping out of the hole, but rather is a fully developed low pressure stream of water. The hole that I am referring to is located in the top of the RO cap and near the base of the threaded cap of the shut off assembly. The water is not coming from the base of the RO cap where it interfaces with the RO housing.
I have replaced the following parts of the shutoff assembly: the top threaded cap, o-ring, diaphragms, and the plunger. It is still leaking water from the top of the RO cap.
The term name for the parts I am describing come from the Repair Parts list and schematic drawing. I hope this additional information is helpful in solving the problem. Can you recommend how I proceed to stop the leak? If the leak cannot be fixed, is the solution to buy new RO system?

There is a crack in the cap of the automatic shutoff assembly or one or both of your diaphragms are leaking, meaning they may be worn or have a hole. One way to check this is to line the diaphragms with Vaseline and reassemble. Remember; the smallest hole will allow water to come out of the emergency drain hole. : )
Hi,
Check the delivery valve. Replace its rubber cap. Please dont rate me if you are not satisfied with my suggestions. Hope this could help a lot. Thank you.....
I'm looking at the owners manual and it looks like its time for a new one not sure if you have the manual or nor here is the site i hope this will help you http://www.kenmorewater.com/website/customer-assist/manuals/625.347030.pdf
You might have a clog in the line or around the faucets hope this helps
To repair this problem refer to diagram # 10 in the manual you have. Reassemble everything exactly according to this diagram and the leak should be resolved. This should help. Good Luck
My first thought is to make sure all of the parts in the shutoff assembly are aligned EXACTLY as the manual describes...holes and notches...then make sure the cap is tightened to align the mark on it with the arrow on the RO cap. Do not overtighten it.

Hey dude,
Refer to this lik for the explanation :-

Take Care Bro.
If the sink p-trap is used as the drain point, RO reject water is routed to the faucet air-gap through 1/4" tubing. It gravity drains from the faucet through 3/8" tubing to the drain point. The hole in the faucet body, below the lever, is the air-gap vent. If the 3/8" tubing is restricted in any way, reject water will backup and leak from the faucet vent hole. Thoroughly clean the tubing and the p-trap fitting if leakage occurs at the vent hole

Have you tried to clean out the flow control (part #7167764 Ref #25 on diagram)? It is inside the tube at the end where it comes off the RO cap (and goes to the air gap). Take a fine wire and poke it through the flow control to remove any blockage. This may do the trick.
Sounds like you might have a small clog in tank cell or line cousing a backflow
Did you replace/ service the RO membranes regularly ?
If not, may be its developing high pressure to cause the leak.

The problem seems to be serious since none of the solutions are working.

Can you see any slight cracks near to the cap .if there r then its leaking from that crack.check out that.
Is there an internal float that is stuck allowing overflow?
ahhhh the overflow cap/bung is missing :)
regards
i always thought that these "manufactured holes" were to test the water temperature, could be wrong but is not conceivable that there might be a "plug" for this hole?
regards

There is no internal float. There is an automatic shutoff valve which activates when the bladder is full of product water; A check valve that prevents the backward flow of product water from the storage area to the membrane; a Flow control cartridge.
There are no cracks in the cap. Water is coming out of a manufactured hole in the top of the RO cap.
Yes, I replace the RO membrane regulary, the existing one is only one year old.
I need a more specific solution.
I need a more specific solution.
I replaced the flow control cartridge last week with a new one and a new screen, but it is still leaking. The water is still streaming out of the hole is the RO cap that is associated with the automatic shutoff assembly.
There is no plug for the hole.
I have already tried those fixes, but it is still leaking out on top of the RO cap.
Thanks, I already have this manual.
Thanks, I already replaced the o-ring with a new one, and I've reassembled the automatic shut off at least 3 times now. But it's still leaking.
Where is faucet vent hole located? This unit is leaking from the hole in the top of the RO cap.
I need a more specific solution.
I already have the manual.
I already did that. I need a more specific solution.
That was my initial solution. I have triple check this and I still have the leak.
I tried that 3 times already, and it still leaks.
I already checked for clogging. None found and water flows unrestricted through the lines.
No lines are clogged, water is flowing unrestricted in all lines.
I already have a manual.
I'm trying this forum first.
There is no leak at the faucet vent hole or obstruction in the line. If you think Kenmore techs can be helpful, please call them. I not aware of a Kenmore Tech helpline.
