If your Philips garment steamer is leaking from its base, there may be several possible causes. See how to resolve this below.
The base of my Philips garment steamer is leaking
Published on 03 April 2023
The hose is forming a U shape
If your garment steamers hose is forming a U shape, condensation may not be able to flow into the water tank. This will cause the base to leak.
If this is the case, please re-position the hose, making sure it is straight, and lift up the head so condensation can flow back into the tank.
The poles are not fully extended
If the poles are not fully extended, your steamer's hose will form a U shape and condensation might not be able to flow into the water tank. This can also cause water leakage from the base.
In this case, please extend the poles. This will lift up the hose so condensation can flow back into the tank.
De-calc knob is not secured
If the De-calc knob is not secured, this will cause water to leak from the base.
Please make sure the De-calc knob is secure.
The water tank's filling cap is not secured
If the water tank's filling cap is not secured, your Philips garment steamer could leak.
If this is the case, please secure the water tank's filling cap to fix it.
