Why does water leak through the seams of the body of the unit when the water is turned on?

Two things to check if this happens - make sure that the rubber washers in the connectors are seated tightly and properly for optimal seal. Secondly, you must tighten the plastic connectors a bit more than 'hand tight' - use a 'channellock' pliers to gently tighten both the top and bottom connectors for optimal seal. There should be no water leaks once you've taken these two easy steps.

I can't answer this yet. I've not used it, tho bought it. Planning to this year. That's a bummer if it does leak!

same happened to me as well. I'm returning it for another reason though which is it leaks from everywhere!

Sounds like there is some type leak in your system where the pump has to keep trying to pump water because it can't make a complete seal when it tries to shut off. Wish I could give you a better answer.

On mine the panels are not totally water tight. So the extra moisture leaks through whichever the bottom seams happens to be. In most cases it the seams opposite the doors, because I tend to leave the doors in the up position.

Hi Chris, so sorry you are having this problem. If the water is coming out from the bottom through the grid where the wiring is .... you can see it through the multiple little holes, it is defective. There are two "legs", one on each side to slide out and anchor the device. Please let me know what happens.

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.

it is a heat sensor that shuts it . however all the cold water has gone down the drain.

You've probably checked this already but I'm wondering if the problem is something other than the hose - maybe a bad or clogged connection to the main water faucet or the nozzle you're using? I get a lot of pressure through mine.

Yes, and it's so annoying! There is water pooled there everyday. I understand it's condenstation from the lid, but the machine should've been designed better to avoid this.

It may be dirt. If you leave a hose connected, water can stay in the down drain and cause mud in the base. When the water is turned on, this goes up the line first. Best cure is to always disconnect the hose after you turn the water off. Another cause could be a break in your plastic line. I have no experience with this, as the faucet I put in has a long metal down drain and intake.

Rob, if you are saying water leaking from where the two housing meet, it is possible that ceramic seal is not sealing properly. make sure to check it again and clear it of all particles. Are you able to put a picture, I was not able to fully understand your problem from your description.

This is one of the problems when water find their way into the electronics through a bad seal.To fix mine, I replaced the whole electronic board with an ON/OFF switch taken from an LED Flash light found in a 99cent store followed by adding a thin layer of silicon sealer around all body jointsWorked just fine for the last 8 months(NOTE): With this modification,it only works on high pressure (FAST)

Most likely the problem is a clog in the condensate line. These units have a reputation for this, although I've got three of them and haven't had the problem. If you take off the left side panel you'll see the coils and where the water drips down into a drip tray. There's a fairly small hole in this tray where the water is carried down into the system, get's evaporated, and is exhausted with the hot air through the window. This small drain hole is likely clogged and you'll have to clean it with a small brush. I believe others have posted more detailed instructions for this, and there may be instructions on DeLonghi's website as well. I do know that I vacuum my units regularly, both the filter and at the side vents, but at the end of the season I take them apart and clean them thoroughly and I've found an enormous amount of dirt and, in my case, dog hair, stuck in the coils. Cleaning this out helps to prevent the problem and also greatly improves it's cooling capacity. I hope this helps!

Sounds like you have air trapped in the system. You could try taking the filters out and flushing the system with water and reinstalling the filters. I'm assuming that you have no leaks in it.

Where is it leaking?Is the unit mounted square and level?Did you check to see if the drain tube is blocked?Is the water flow rate on to high?Are all connections tight?These are all things you should check.

that's how most are installed. It's no problem. you need to run the water through the unit with the power off to purge any air prior to turning the unit on.

There is a gasket on top of the pump, sometimes it get's stuck inside the lid. Plug the hoses and drain the water from the pump. Take the gasket from the lid and put it back I to the groove in the top of the pump. That should solve the leak.
