Troubleshooting-Gaggia-Baby-Foot-Leak

From Bottom Of Machine

1. Check the water tank and drip tray to make sure that are no cracks or breaks where water can escape. Make sure they are properly positioned on the machine. The decompression duct drains into a rounded catcher at the back of the drip tray assembly. If the drip tray is not pushed in far enough the water will miss the tray and go directly beneath the machine.
2. The water tank needs to be seated securely on the machine. Make sure there isn't anything causing the water tank to sit crookedly.
3. The water reservoir grommet is worn, dirty, or out of position. If this is the cause of the leak there will be water leaking between the tank and the base of the machine, which will run down the back of the machine and pool at the foot of the unit. The grommet can be accessed for cleaning and replacement by following these instructions. A replacement reservoir grommet can be purchased here.
4. The pump is leaking. This requires a considerable amount of disassembly and should only be attempted by a service technician.
