Water under coffee machine

There is water under the coffee machine.

The surface that the water container sits on is soiled.

This means that the water container sits a little too high or at an angle on its surface inside the coffee machine. This will prevent the water container dispensing valve from attaching correctly and water can leak out.

Make sure that the valve, the underside of the water container and the surface under the water container are clean. Otherwise the water container will not sit correctly.

Carefully clean and dry the surface the water container sits on, particularly the recesses.

Limescale or other deposits in the water have formed in and around the dispensing valve.

This means that the dispensing valve cannot close properly and may leak. The water container empties slowly.
