When you take the drip tray off, you will notice a little chute/nozzle the drips waste water into the tray when the machine turns on. This nozzle has clogged. Get a paperclip, straighten it and push it into the nozzle to clear the blockage. That\'s the good news/easy bit...
The bigger problem is that inside the machine, the pressure from the nozzle blockage has caused a little hose to pop off the back of the nozzle. Getting to it it to put it back on is a tough job. If the machine is under warranty, go get it fixed. If not, you may choose to send it for repair. It should not be an expensive job.
The upside is that there is little risk of major damage occurring since the hose tends to hang over the ventilation grill at the base of the machine, sending coffee-stained water over your benchtop.
If you are the type that likes to open up stuff and fix things for yourself, then the job is quite straighforward, but does involve removing screws, a couple of electrical connectors and the mainboard which you must swing out to get to the hose inside. Remounting the house can be an absolute bugger of a job - I ended up going out to buy a set of very long-nose pliers to get the job done.
Make sure you clear that nozzle when the hose is off FIRST otherwise the hose will just pop straight off again!

Verify that the water is leaking from the bottom of the coffee maker and not just running down the back during filling and pooling underneath. (Look under coffee maker - without lifting - to see if water droplets are hanging from bottom of unit)
Resolution:
If verified that water is leaking from bottom of coffee maker Contact Us for further assistance.
First, be sure to regularly push a straightened paper clip in that nozzle! It can get clogged with coffee grinds quite easily.
Then call Sunbeam and tell them you want the waste chute extender. It's a little plastic tube that fits over the nozzle to extend it further into the drip tray. Truth be told, you could probable push a 2cm piece of 3mm aquarium pump air tubing over it.
HI
I would suspect the seal on the machine where the tank sets on the machine. There is a plastic cap that looks like a doughnut, that will pry off (there are 2 hooks, 1 on each side). The seal is under neath. If you can stick your finger in the center of the seal and lift it out it needs to be replaced. When you put the new one in, run your finger nail around the outside edge of the seal to get it to slip in or you could damage the new seal.
Hi I,am not 100% familiar with this model but the machine thinks the is a leak. Remove water tank the should be a hole visible under tank place finger in hole and check for water. If so remove water with syringe etc. Leak most likely cause tank incorrectly fitted or faulty seal on tank. If water tank seal OK, Remove water with syringe etc appliance will work. As a precaution remove lid and run you should be able to see any leaks. If not look for white stains on components. If no leaks or stains found it's was most likely tank incorrectly fitted.
HI There are a lot of things that can cause the machine to leak. You could have a fitting or tube that is broken. You boiler could be leaking and needs to be replaced. You could have a hose connection that has come loose. You could have a bad seal at a connection. Until you get inside you will not know? You might want to have someone look at it for you. Scale is one of the major causes for machines to start leaking. Make sure that your water hardness is set on 4, so you descale more often than not enough, to prevent leakage in the boiler.
I had the same problem. The water was coming from the front door switch inside top right. I followed the water and turns out the part that needed to be replaced was the steam valve body. #48. http://www.shop.partsguru.com/images/1208344975339-771025787.jpeg and link http://www.shop.partsguru.com/images/1208344975339-771025787.jpeg after I changed it the pool of water under the machine stopped. I hope this helps.
