It sounds like it's defective. I have already sent. Two back due to power cord issues

Open the door and make sure that the drain pan in the bottom is not full. the machine sweats a lot and I had to empty the pan about every 3 days before mine completely broke down after 3 months of use! Good luck with yours.

yes it is a big disappointment to be honest as its cooling system is very weak depends on room temp the more humid and hot the more water leak!

No, I didn't have a leaking problem. My does not work. I believe they cannot be plugged in all the time however I'm not sure.

I am afraid mine does the same thing...I bought two of them and experienced the same problem. I have only used one of them so far and was hoping that the other one would not leak. My suspicion was that maybe I over tightened the one that I was using but now I don't know. Please share if you come up with a solution camp girl.

There should be no leaking at all, the seals should be brand new and "seated" correctly. If you do have a "leak through", it is probably the seals and 1) faucet should be returnedto the place you purchased them or 2) replace the seals. Again, this should not be the problem but it does happen.

Other than the water left over in the grooves from either rinsing or over filling it and then closing it I haven't had a problem with it leaking. It could also be the rubber attachment, I took nine off right when I got it because it was irritating me.

I have two...one leaks and the other one I have had no problems with and it runs everyday. I would of returned the other one but didn't get it done in time. I do plan on ordering another one soon. Was told that they will honor the returns.

Yes ours is leaking also, what have you tried? My husband thinks he needs to tork the screws tighter. Wanted me to see if anyone else had this problem and how they fixed it.

Because it is leaking. I had the same problem and called Hamilton Beach and they are sending me a new unit. Had a choice of whether to wait until the end of the month when they will have a new improved one of the same model or a different model. I chose to go for a different model. All I had to pay is $13.00 for shipping.

I dont think it is normal, but i hear this particular item has this flaw compared to other models. I started to double check the rubber ring and the lid for any food debris left, and normally the leaking didnt happen. Hope you try that.

I've never had a problem with mine--I've had it two years and it still works great. I'm sorry yours is leaking. Have you contacted the manufacturer?

I do not have that in mine! It could be defective,but if it holds water and there is no leak,and the place is not thin then I would not worry about it.IT hope this helps!!

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

I have 2 of these and no leak issues with either. Where is it leaking? If you are sure it's a seal issue, return and get a new one.

Mine leak's as well. My wife doesn't fill it to the top anymore and it doesn't leak then.

I have had mine for almost 6 months without a drop of leaking. Perhaps try reassembling it.

You may have a defective tank. Mine screwed in tight to the tank and there is no leak

don't know if you're still worrying about this, but in case you haven't gotten an answer: it might be because you aren't pressing down hard enough to create a seal. water may leak through the sides and down into the "filtered" section.

I bought one of these about a month ago, and this things never leaks. I don't even see where it could leak. If yours is leaking, it could be that there is a faulty part that you should replace, or maybe you have a piece out of place from when you cleaned it last. If it's very old, maybe the seal around the heating element is failing. But other than that, all the water is held in a solid plastic housing that couldn't leak unless it was cracked. Hope that helps.
