After 2 years of service ours is leaking from the indicator window, and I saw a review describing this same issue. Is this a common problem?

Yes it seems to be a common problem, I recently had mine fixed twice, and finally it is working properly, good luck.

Yes, mine started leaking right after 2 years exactly as described! Looks like a common prob. Too bad, I really like the design but wont buy it again...

Had the same problem - trashed it. Bought the Hamilton Beach version; it is fine.

Yes! After a year of multiple daily uses we're seeing this leak like crazy. So sad.

Ours is not leaking, however the kettle is not the best quality which I expected from Krups. The automatic off switch does not always engage, and I'm just waiting for the mechanism which keeps the lid closed to break. It is the identical mechanism on our older cheaper kettle which did break. Hope this helps.

Not specific enough to answer. Is the leak coming from the unit, or external to the unit. If from the unit, call Rinnai and get the names of authorized Rinnai installers who should be more familiar with Rinnai products.

I've had mine for about 4 years, it now has leakage from a hole in a bottom corner. Time for a new one.

Mine is the same as when I bought it a couple of years ago. No change. No leakage.

Hmm I think that's odd and it makes me think your unit is leaking. I personally would replace it. I don't think you can add water...

Yes, the previous unit started to leak and I replaced it with another. The present unit is working fine.

Most likely the problem is a clog in the condensate line. These units have a reputation for this, although I've got three of them and haven't had the problem. If you take off the left side panel you'll see the coils and where the water drips down into a drip tray. There's a fairly small hole in this tray where the water is carried down into the system, get's evaporated, and is exhausted with the hot air through the window. This small drain hole is likely clogged and you'll have to clean it with a small brush. I believe others have posted more detailed instructions for this, and there may be instructions on DeLonghi's website as well. I do know that I vacuum my units regularly, both the filter and at the side vents, but at the end of the season I take them apart and clean them thoroughly and I've found an enormous amount of dirt and, in my case, dog hair, stuck in the coils. Cleaning this out helps to prevent the problem and also greatly improves it's cooling capacity. I hope this helps!

Not quite sure your question. What I did was replaced the whole parts. In my case, the leaking was between the parts and the water tank. Actually, that happened more than 1 year already. I can check it tonight. Good luck.

I've had mine for a little over 5 years and it just seemed to vibrate loose. I have to do some more investigation but I think this is what is causing the leak. Again, this is after purchasing in October 2009.

I've had no problems like this. It seems there may be something else going on with yours. Was anything spilled on it?

maybe it has different threads? or is it leaking?if it's just leaking use Teflon tape. if it's the threads, home depot might have thread adapters.

Mine leaked. You might need new gasket rings. Mine always broke and didn't seal completely.

Wow. That's exactly the problem I am left with. I've re-visited my install as I kept thinking that there was something I wasn't doing right. You've actually helped me! Since the original sat flush now I'll dig out the old gaskets and see if it'll seat properly and re-use them. If you find a solution do let me know. Thanks. Jean

How has it been installed. Mine leaked there until I run the system. There are 3 check valves that open with a screwdriver. Try bleeding them and see if it fixes your problem

Mine Still works and hasn't leaked. I put grease on the o-rings to help prevent it leaking. If it's within 30 days call the vendor and see if you can get a replacement.

I've ordered 2 of these in the last 18 months and haven't had any issues with leaking at the on/off lever. I did have some leaking where the nozzle connected to the hose but it was remedied by adding a new washer. Maybe this one you purchased was defective.

If its older than 3 years, you need to simply replace it. If newer, call the support line at Insinkerator and see if they will send you out a new tank! I have read that the leak, if it is from the tank, is due to a return hose that gets brittle and breaks. If you are handy, you can search the web for an article about replacing it. I am not very handy and screwed up my tank doing it so had to replace the entire tank.
