    working on <b style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;”>SCCWE61E their is a leak coming from the side that I can not find, It is not the Steam Hose which is normal case. Anyone has any idea where it could be coming. It is dripping slowly and the side has lot of soup and so drop of water inside when I opened the lid

    Can you possibly narrow it down to either the steam generator, water system, or cleanjet system?

    Hey Sanket

    Have you already found this problem?

    When diagnosing a leak, determine if the water is clear, translucent or dark brown.

    Clear water could be like you said steam hose. On a 61E, it is hard to see because it is concealed behind steam generator. Use a dry paper towel and hold it there while unit is in steam mode. In fact, do this at all hose clamps while activating solenoids in function test for at least 1 minute each.

    White or translucent water suggest it would be happening during cleanjet. You need to check motor shaft gasket and also meat probe connections. These leaks actually happen behind the cabinet insulation and won't be detected until it finally drips under the unit.

    Greasy water can also be during cleanjet. Check suction and pressure hose from cleanjet pump but also the pipe between door drip tray and drain valve. You may need to remove the hand shower cover plate and make sure this is assembled correctly still. Overtime grease builds up around this and won't stay aligned. Clean it immaculately to correct this problem.

    I assume you already checked;

    Door gasket Hand shower hose reel connections moisture nozzle on element (pipe through element flange) rack pins unit level drain connection (no 90 or p-trap close to unit) quench nozzle not worn and spraying through emergency overflow.

    Either case, let us know what you found, we can let you know about any repair kits if applicable.
