Water is not supposed drip into the Heating Plate , if happened, there are something wrong! That is my guess. I bought it and then return because the cover did not work well. When it is closed , it did not lock completely . Thank you

I don't have this problem. Check if the top inside plate and other removable items on the lid are tightly snapped in.

Yes, all the time. I think it is normal. Annoying too. I'm sure if you add less water it might burn off but you don't want to burn the plate out.

Same issue with this and a former model for us. The solution is to turn it down. Yes the water isn't as hot, but...

I used a little rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab to clean the heating element in mine about a year ago. It worked for about a year stopped working then has worked fine since I cleaned it. I think using distilled water keeps it from getting gunky around the heating element from minerals, etc in the water.

I have the same problem. The iron shuts off every ten minutes and then stops heating. Then, water starts leaking from the steam holes . I unplugged and replugged the iron cord so the heating cycle would start again. This is very excruciating. I bought a cheaper iron that does not have an auto shut off feature,

Mine has been doing the same thing. I just bought it this week. The floor is soaked underneath. It looks like the steam comes and out and goes right down to the rug, no matter which way I position it. I'm taking it back to target.

I haven't experienced this. Is the water level getting low or have you noticed that the "Steam Ready" indicator light is off (meaning that you have used up the available steam and must wait for the unit to build up steam) ? Other than that, I can't think of a reason for the situation you describe.

Mine started to drip a few weeks after installation. Had to buy a new cartridge. Its been drip free for about a year, but it seems to be starting again.

I haven't experienced any dripping. We've probably had our press for about a year now and have experienced no problems!

mine does too, but if you look closer, there doesn't appear to leaking steam. working well.

Did you follow the instructions to clear the lines before installing the cartridge. Sometime a bit of mineral buildup in the lines can cause the unit not to seat properly. I did not have any problems with dripping on mine, it works just fine to this day. You may be able to redo the procedure from the step before inserting the main control cartridge making sure there is nothing getting caught up in the shutoff area of the cartridge.

I have never had a problem with the faucet dripping so far. I have had mine almost two years. Mine was installed by my plumber.

Never saw anything in the manual concerning your issue, I would assume as long as the water is heating and the steam is working it could be just a blip in the wiring. I've had my steamer for about two years and haven't had a problem. You didn't say how old your steamer is.

It shouldn't CONSTANTLY drip - - however because of the design, it WILL drip when the instant hot unit is heating the water to it's holding temperature. This is NOT a flaw - - it's just physics. On these faucet units - the valves do NOT release water from the holding tank, rather they ADD water TO the tank. The heating tank is ALWAYS vented out through the faucet. So - - when it's heating, the water expands slightly (or steam is vented), and drips out of the faucet. If, however, your faucet drips ALL the time - - that is a problem !!

While I don't have the unit (bought it for a friend), if the item isn't working, and you can't return it - if the item is heating, I'd try to see if "maybe" the water spouts became clogged? If you have no other recourse, you may wish to check with the manufacturer and ask them what they suggest? It may be something as simple as steam-cleaning the machine with something they've found works well?

Mine did the same thing. Turns out it was leaking coffee through the metal heating plate at the base of the tank. Tightening the screws on the metal plate did not solve the problem. Possibly I warped it by pouring cold water on it while it was hot? Not something I normally do but it may have happened once or twice.

I have used two versions of this and never had that problem. Maybe you should try replacing the steam head attachement
