Coffee maker leaks water from the bottom onto the counter during or after brewing.

Safety first: Unplug immediately and do not operate until the leak is resolved.

• Check external components: Inspect the reservoir for cracks and ensure it is not overfilled. Verify the carafe is not overflowing.
• Dry and observe: Dry the exterior, then add water to the reservoir without brewing and watch for drips from the base.
• Internal inspection (advanced): Remove the housing and inspect all hoses, clamps, and the heater block for signs of leakage. Replace any cracked hoses and tighten or replace clamps.
• Replace damaged parts: If the heater tube or plastic manifold is cracked, replace the affected assembly.
