We have completely installed two of these and both are leaking under the sink. Any suggestions?

Where exactly is it leaking, the hose connections? Did you use plumbers seal tape on the connectors? If not, you need to wrap the threads with it then screw on the hoses or you will get leaks.

Hi, I dont know really. This sounds more like the connection. Make sure all the screws fit properly. Or the plumbings get connected well/tight? Wish you all the best.

I had the same problem, because of the bottom rubber gasket that makes it really hard to screw down tightly. I solved it by getting rid of the gasket and using plumbers putty instead. No leaks.

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.

Mine started leaking 4 weeks after we installed it. Tried to exchange but got no response from supplier.

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?

Sorry to hear about the leak! It could be caused by dirty debris wrapped around the brushes or underneath the unit. Try cleaning the bottom and if you are still having issue please contact us so we can help. http://www.bissell.com/contact-us/?cid=ccsocial2107

Hi Sharon,Mine still not leaking after reworked as described by me. Really is a nice design but a minimum care from Black & Decker with us, "victims" of defective products like this one, is desirable.Cheers,Paulo

Sounds like you have air trapped in the system. You could try taking the filters out and flushing the system with water and reinstalling the filters. I'm assuming that you have no leaks in it.

I haven't had this problem. Have you tried tightening it to see if that helps? I remember at least one other reviewer had the same problem. Once he/she tightened it, it no longer leaked. Hope that helps

Mine did the same thing. I just pushed them back in and that worked. It was rather difficult to do, but they went in. Just make sure to push at the base of the yellow spigot. If you try to press ON the yellow spigot or the metal piece that sticks out you may damage it and it could start leaking. I hope that works for you!!

No.. I have had my for a long while now.. and it never leaked.. you may want to call the company.. it sounds like you left something off while you were installing it.

Mine leaks as well - check the lid and see if the silicon ring is missing or damaged. I believe that's the cause for my leak. Still checking to see if I can replace that part...

I had the exact same issue with mine. Make sure the quick disconnect is seated properly and the hoses aren't kinked. Also, taking out some of the sponges helps a little and increases the flow. That worked for me for a little bit. I eventually filed a warranty claim and within a few days API had sent me a brand new one and it has never leaked. You may need to do the same.

I've not had any issues. If it's leaking underneath, there may be a crack. Also be sure to not over-fill the water tank. Additional information is in the user guide on page 14 (http://kitchen.manualsonline.com/manuals/mfg/melitta/mes2b.html?p=14 ) and addresses leaks. I hope this helps.

Mine leaked too. I called the manufacturer's customer support phone number and they gave me a new one free. I also had a problem with the soap dispenser. I did the same and they sent me a new one. I must say the customer service is pretty good, but why do we as customers have to go through all of this? They have to improve quality control of their products.

Buy some new Dramm rubber gasket washers for the female end. This solved my leaking problem.

Just thought of one tiny thing... If water seeps out of the sink when drain is closed, unscrew the ring and reset it with more plumbers putty. This happened to us initially but adding more putty sealed it up and we have not had any trouble at all.
