Why does it leak when its brewing ? - Keurig Special Edition B60 Coffee Maker

If your Saeco Vienna Deluxe espresso machine is experiencing leaks from above the door panel during coffee brewing, even after cleaning and descaling, there could be a few potential causes for this issue. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and address the problem:

1. Check Brew Group Seals: The brew group is a critical part of the espresso machine. If the seals or gaskets on the brew group are worn or damaged, they could allow water to leak out during brewing. Inspect the brew group and its components for any visible signs of wear or damage. If necessary, replace the seals or gaskets.
2. Check Door Seal: The door seal or gasket that creates a seal between the door and the machine's interior could be compromised. Inspect the door seal for any visible defects, cracks, or damage. If the seal is not making proper contact, it could lead to leaks. Replace the door seal if needed.
3. Overflowing Drip Tray: Ensure that the drip tray and the drip tray float are functioning properly. If the drip tray is full or the float is stuck, it could lead to water overflowing from above the door panel. Empty the drip tray and ensure that the float moves freely.
4. Brew Unit Alignment: Make sure the brew unit is properly aligned and inserted into the machine. If it's not properly seated, it can cause water to leak during brewing. Remove the brew unit and reinsert it, ensuring that it clicks into place securely.
5. Clogged Drainage Channels: Check for any clogs or blockages in the drainage channels or tubes inside the machine. If water is not properly draining, it can result in leaks. Clean out any debris or buildup that you find.
6. Water Tank Seating: Ensure that the water tank is properly seated and securely in place. If it's not properly positioned, it can lead to water leaks.
7. Internal Hoses and Connections: Inspect the internal hoses and connections for any signs of leaks or loose connections. Tighten any fittings if necessary.
8. Professional Service: If the issue persists after checking and addressing the above potential causes, it may be best to seek the assistance of a professional technician or service center that specializes in Saeco espresso machines. They can diagnose and repair more complex issues that might be causing the leaks.

First I'm not a Mr. Coffee tech but I have worked on similar machines.
* Most decanters are made of tempered glass and unless cracked it should not leak.
* Most overflowing pots are caused by over filling brewing tank. This can be caused by re-pouring additional water into the brew tank. (automatic brewers may have a leaking water valve - call your vendor for service)
* Partial brewing (taking coffee from a brewing pot) and then putting in more water.
* Removing the pot BEFORE it stops dripping. It leaves a puddle of coffee on the warmer plate
*Over filling the water tank. Most times the extra water will spill out the back. But some may overflow into the basket area then the warmer plate.
* Follow the MFR brewing instructions for filling.
* All brewers should stop water drips after brewing. If you get a constant drip AFTER brewing then have the brewer checked or replaced. Call your vendor.

VPR has a semi-sealed tank that keeps +1 pot of water heated and ready to brew. Pouring in a full pot of cold water will fill the top tray and allow a slow trickle of cold water into the top which forces hot water to over flow into the brew basket. This continues until all the cold water drains into the heater tank. So the brew is matched volume per volume. UNLESS the thank was empty or not filled prior to brewing. Follow the brewing instructions from Bunn (on line for *FREE* download at Bunn.com)
* If it leaks (from the bottom) only when you pour in water. Then your pouring it too fast and over flowing the fill tray. slowdown, watch the level in the tray. do not fill past the lid.
* If it leaks just sitting (not brewing) then there is a hole in the tank. Call for service.
* If it leaks after filling the tray half way. then the top of the tank has a leak, loose, cracked, or missing gasket. There is quite a few gaskets on the lid. Call for service.
* Final; Leaks are always bad around electrical equip. Best to unplug and call for service to be safe.

Remove brew chamber, check the back of the white plastic valve make sure the chamber under it is clear of coffee grounds and water, then check the red o-ring on the brew chamber make sure there are no cracks or damaged spots.

it's possible, like mine with the same problem, that one or more of the plastic feet under the water tank has broken, then making the tank move and upsetting the valve underneath. My one always leaks clean water, never dirty and I have a broken foot.
