everyone who is using that red button could have a leak, very common, turn water off, open a faucet to relieve pressure, master plumber 40 years

I had that happen once. I found that I might have hit the button on the side of the start stop button and it didn't release all the water at once. I now am more careful and make sure I only hit the center button and I have not had the problem again.

YES! If it is what happened to me it is coming from the lid. All of a sudden our tank leaked and we discovered that the water is traveling from the filter area down the side of the tank. The only way I could resolve this was to not press the lid all the way down - just rest it on top. Bummer cause otherwise I love this tank!

I've had mine for a little over 5 years and it just seemed to vibrate loose. I have to do some more investigation but I think this is what is causing the leak. Again, this is after purchasing in October 2009.

Leaking how? I've never had a problem with mine. Open the air pressure release valve when not in use and screw it in tight before use again. But it shouldn't leak, it's all one piece.

Try spraying electrical contact cleaner in and around the button(s). Don't use any water based products on it and always keep it in a dry storage place.

Mine never worked. It leaks immediately. Maybe I'm installing it wrong but it was disappointing.

Nope. I've owned three, zero leaks. Could it be overfilled? If you can verify the leak (maybe from a line?) I'd send it back. Good luck!

Hi Vikas, i had that same problem in the beginning, I changed the hose and it still happened but it wasnt drastic, i tightened the hose and since its been fine with no problems. Not sure where it is leaking from but check the hose connections, I hope this helps.

There is a rubber/plastic gasket around the inside of the button case that , if seated properly when you close the case, should keep water out. Have you checked the operation at the distance from the gate? It has a limit to it's range of transmission. Sounds like it might be a stretch.

Mine also leaked. I contacted Hamilton Beach and returned it. Perhaps you'll need to do the same.

No.. I have had my for a long while now.. and it never leaked.. you may want to call the company.. it sounds like you left something off while you were installing it.

we've had the same issue on rare occassion. I have no idea why it is leaking and we have also checked it, cleaned it, etc. it seems to be more of an issue when it is overly full.

I had that problem all the time. I finally got so disgusted with it that I just threw the whole thing away and got a new machine. Sorry, it won't stop leaking.

I had the exact same issue with mine. Make sure the quick disconnect is seated properly and the hoses aren't kinked. Also, taking out some of the sponges helps a little and increases the flow. That worked for me for a little bit. I eventually filed a warranty claim and within a few days API had sent me a brand new one and it has never leaked. You may need to do the same.

My guess is that you are loosing pressure. Not much, but some. Most likely a faucet is dripping somewhere. Or toilet. Even a small drip adds up over 30 minutes, just enough to trigger the switch to build pressure again. Check again. Inside & out.
