I notice that several people have had the same problem as me. . . a leak "appears" after one or two uses - so is there a way to seal it?

But also..... They make a GARDEN hose and say... Store INDOORS...... Excuse me????

As far as I tried... No way to fix it... Only prevent problems by careful usage

my friend tried electrical tape, but it burst 2 minutes later. return it. Get your money back.

Mine actually broke inside, so there was no way to fix it. It did last more than one or two uses; mine broke after the warranty was over!

Not that I could see. Once the flex hose blows, it is like a balloon inside that pops. So it more of a tear than a leak

This is an inherent problem since mine does the same thing. I usually seal it twice. Once with the vacuum suction on then immediately with just the seal on like you are making a bag this works most of the time, but not 100% of the time.

I would removed both gasket on each side and do it again and tighten it enough so that it does not leak. If it still leak, go to any hardware store and just get a new gasket.

Mine wouldn't re-seal either, so i just squeezed all the air out and rolled the top down & used a clip to hold it closed. Has worked for me.

I agree about the sealing. They say to start in cold water....then boil. Although mine did initially seal many loosened in a few days

Ive never had that problem. Im sorry. Maybe it is something to do with your environment? Or maybe yours isnt sealing correctly

My machine did leak a bit too. When I moved the machine forward to fill up, I noticed water underneath it. My husband opened the machine up. There is a snap on piece and draws hot water up. He put silicone grease on it and it stopped. I will get more details soon on what he did.

Mine is also starting to leak at a couple of the joints. I am not sure what to do but am considering buying that silicon water proofing spray to see if that helps

If you have not bought it yet don't.... I read that it fills with water... so I tried to seal it in all dimensions. It still leaked after 10 minutes in the water. good luck

You bet it's defective, Our 1st one we have had a year, we have had the 2nd one 7 months, neither on leak so if you can I'd exchange it.

There is a rubber type gasket that runs around the outside to stop leaking. You can remove it.

I would recommend soaking the lid in vinegar for awhile, and i have even cleaned the float valve (? - circular stop valve) w/ q-tips -- clean that area out really well. I would also recommend highly to use coffee filters vs. the reuable gold filter. Once i cleaned and used disposible filters -- it stopped the leaking. Good luck to you~!

You have to make sure that you tighten the cap after filling it up. I haven't had an issue with it leaking.

Mine has started coming loose (note completely off) each time I use it, but no leaks...yet....

Don't go breaking the seal. But, make sure you get it hand tight good. I have used it about 15 times now and have only experienced leakage once. But, that could have been my fault. (So, I thought. Till your question came up. Good luck.

I think it depends where the leak is. If it's in a flat smooth area a tire or swimming pool patch might do. If it appears to be near a seam or valve it may be more difficult to fix.

You're certain it's from the power cable? One time i experienced the same, however, it wasn't the cable but the seal between the canister and the lid. The rubber seal (which is just a rubber square) was twisted and not sealing correctly :( Check this, otherwise send it back for a replacement. That does not sound good if the power source is leaking:(. Good luck. I've had great luck with this product, i hope the same for you
