Breville Bambino Plus - water leaking underneath the machine
Breville Bambino Plus - water leaking underneath the machine
Anybody else with a Bambino Plus experiencing this?
Machine is about 3 weeks old. I'd seen small amounts of water underneath the machine from day 1 but not getting out of control. Ran a cleaning cycle today and if I hadn't put a towel down it would have been all over the floor.
Feels like it's probably coming from where the machine drains into the drip tray because there's some pools on the machine base under the tray as well.
Drip tray is pushed in as far as it'll go.
Is this a flaw in the design or have I got a lemon?
You're viewing a single thread.
I sometimes get the same problem with my machine. Its usually that the drip tray is full or wiggled free and is not locked all the way back. On the chance that your countertop is uneven maybe the shaking could push the tray out of position. Otherthan user error that's nothing I noticed, so maybe it's a lemon.
Thanks. I've noticed there does seem to be a tendency for the drip tray to wiggle slightly free. Like there's almost two locking positions for it - locked and really-locked - and it likes to sit in the less-locked position. I've been more careful about keeping it well pushed in over the last week and haven't even noticed drips underneath on the machine base, so maybe that's the issue.
Someone did point out that there appear to be unused spaces in the plastic molding under the drip tray for rubber feet. I might try adding something there which hopefully will make it less likely to walk itself out of position.
I'm going to given it another cleaning cycle in the next week and be sure that the tray is all the way in - that's the toughest test I think.
I don't believe, like I think was @[email protected]'s implication, that there's a leak inside the machine.
