Sage Barista Express:
Water leaking from the back or underneath

These are some of the Barista Express faults we see regularly. Start with the symptom closest to yours. We will never diagnose a machine from a webpage, but we can help you understand the sensible next step.

Water leaking from the back or underneath
WHAT YOU MAY NOTICE
You may find water appearing underneath or behind your Barista Express, either while the machine is running or shortly after you have used it.
The amount of water can vary from a few drops to a more noticeable leak.
SAFE NEXT STEP
If water is getting near electrical parts, the machine is tripping the power, or the leak is becoming significant, stop using it and unplug it.
Allow the machine to cool before moving or inspecting it.
HOW WE CAN HELP
There are several places inside a Barista Express where a leak can develop, including hoses, seals, valves and other water-carrying components.
We see this type of fault regularly and can pressure-test and inspect the machine to find the actual source of the leak rather than replacing parts based on where the water happens to appear externally.
