Leaking From The Base

There are a few possible reasons why your Hamilton Beach 14289 iron might be leaking from the base.

The water reservoir is not properly inserted. Make sure that the water reservoir is inserted all the way into the base of the iron.

The water reservoir is cracked or damaged. If the water reservoir is cracked or damaged, it will leak water. Replace the water reservoir.

The steam valve is not closed properly. Make sure that the steam valve is closed tightly before using the iron.

The steam generator is not working properly. If the steam generator is not working properly, it may not be able to generate enough steam to keep up with the demand, which can cause the water reservoir to overflow. Contact Hamilton Beach customer service for assistance.
