Water inside or under the machine

Water inside the case or under the machine

Unplug before you look. Where the water is tells you the cause:

1. A slow drip at an elbow as it heats, white or green crust on a boiler top, or water round the steam wand. A push-fit tube is not sealing: reseat it.
2. Water between the group and the case, with the top fittings dry. The coffee boiler seal.
3. Water under the tank and a hot back-left corner. The level probe nut.
4. Steam or water around the drip tray. The anti-vacuum valve venting.

No reports of the frame or body rusting were found. Corrosion was always local to a leaking fitting.
