Water is leaking out of the bottom of my machine and going on the counter. What do I do?

When my coffe maker does that I have found i needed to remove (if possible) and clean the coffee filter housing, mine has a spring loaded valve that lets you get a cup halfway though the perk and it had gotten plugged up with grounds, and was overflowing.
Just rinse it out top and bottom and you should be good.
If you cant remove it, be sure to unplug the electrical first :)

Needs cleaning or seals get damaged.

empty the washer. then remove the bottom panel of the machine.put some water in it and see if the water is leaking when it is filling or full.I have seen a small hole in the tub just behind the bottom counter balance where the mounting bolt goes you may need to use a small mirror to look under there.

If it does it whenever the tank is put on the machine then the hose from the tank is disconnected.
If it does it when the machine is brewing coffee or after, then clean the chamber behind the brew unit, under the white plastic valve.
If it is leaking when making steam or hot water then the booster boilerhas a leak.

the 90 degree red elbow has worn away of hot water temps and will leak some but all hot water to the bottom of machine. needs to be replaced or retrofit one

Turn on machine w/o water or google the company

The o-ring on the bottom of the water tank is either missing or not seated properly.

Hi,

I think your steam valve have to be replaced.

Depending on the age it could be just some orings leaking or a connection that has come loose. Or it could be the boiler leaking. Not knowing the age it is had to know which. You should google "saeco repair" and have an authorized repair center take a look.

Mine just developed the same problem. Me being an engineer, I decided to take it apart and found the problem. There is an aluminum tube shaped like a "C" with a heating element inside of it. Water flows through this metal tube, is heated, and then pushed via steam pressure. There is a metal brace that holds this "C" piece securely to the bottom of the machine. This brace is sharp and overtightened, which caused a small hole to form in the metal, causing the leak (in my machine of course). I am currently researching how to patch aluminum so I can hopefully fix it.
