I've had my Braun System for about one and half years. All of a sudden, when it's in the cleaning mode, it leaks a lot. What can I do?

Wow. Sorry, I haven't had that problem. Depends on where it's leaking. Might try a new cleaning cartridge and then call the manufacturers help line if that doesn't work.. you can also clean it manually if needed. Check your Operation manual. Might be a stop-gap till you can get it fixed. Good Luck.

I am glad to see someone else has this problem! I have had mine replaced 4 times! Did you ever get yours working? I had an old model for 10 years that never leaked, so I know what I'm doing. Frustrating.

After about 3 months, mine begin to leak & sprayed water on the back wall. Since this one of yours is new, try taking it apart & reinstalling it. If this does not work, ask Church and Dwight for a replacement one.

sorry, I returned my unit because it was leaking everywhere. I never got any further. Perhaps there's dried soap in the nozzle? try a open paper clip and see if there isn't a clog

I have had 2 of these over the past 3 years - and never had a leak. Check and make sure the water container is fitted properly on the unit. Maybe yours is defective.

Mine has started doing the same thing, only it worked really well for a few months. I think it's because I wiped the inner circle on the bottom, which the instructions say not to do. I did it lightly, because I want it clean, but apparently, this ruins the unit! VERY frustrating because now I have to buy a new one!

I've had the very same problem. After three months it has become so congested that the motor labors hard and then the unit stops working altogether. I've twice tried flushing it out with water through the top and bottom. A lot of black debris comes out, but it still doesn't work properly after cleaning. I had to return and get a different unit.

I have the same issue and don't have a solution yet (other than cleaning up the leaked water each day). Does anyone have a solution?

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.

Yes, if it's still under its one-year warranty, take it to an authorized service facility. It is more than likely the purge unit. Mine had the same problem. The facility replaced the purge unit with an updated one and so far so good.

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.

I've had mine for about 4 months and have never had this problem with it. Sounds like you have a defective unit. I'd suggest contacting Hoover to get it replaced.

Have you tried washing the sensor? Just use water, nothing else. My sensor got dirty and I had this problem. Cleaning off the sensor did the trick. And don't forget these are warranted for five years. When my motor died, they sent me a new motor with instructions how to change it out. Piece of cake.

Mine did that a few times and it was one defective unit (garage) that kept triggering the system. They are quite sensitive to any kind of debris. You should also use a vacuum every 6 months and suck out any dust build up of the sensors to help prevent this.

I have had two units now and they both have done this. My husband and I think it's due to hard water and the mineral build up. You can deep clean it, we have used a mineral cleaner on it not sure what the company would think of that. However we are back to having to get a new one due to build up. We will try distilled water only next time.

I believe the cleaning solution works in all Braun shavers cleaners. I have an older razor that uses these cleaning cartridges. My son bought a new Braun shavers about 6 months ago and it uses the same cartridges.

This is the issue I had naturally with the machine and reservoir, thru no fault of my own. But i cleaned the machine by running 1/2 cup of vinegar to 8 cups of water twice until the reservoir starts filling again. Then flushed it 2 more times with just water to get the vinegar all out Good to do this 3-4 times a year in general. Good luck. Let me know.
