Why is juice spilling from the citrus juicer spout or jug?

Modified on Mon, 24 Aug at 2:19 PM

Spillage usually means the jug is overfilled, the spout area is blocked, or the jug is not sitting straight on the base. The citrus juicer models listed in the product data use a removable jug and, on some versions, a transparent lid and adjustable pulp filter, so a simple seating problem is often enough to cause overflow. fileciteturn0file3turn0file5

1. Check the fill level first

  1. Switch off the juicer.
  2. Lift the jug and empty some juice if it is near the top.
  3. Wipe away any juice around the rim or spout.

If the overflow stops after emptying the jug, the cause was likely overfilling.

2. Inspect the pour path

  1. Unplug the appliance and remove the jug.
  2. Check for pulp or peel blocking the spout or filter openings.
  3. Clean and dry the parts before refitting them.

If juice still backs up quickly, stop using the appliance until it is cleaned properly.

3. Reseat the jug and work surface

  1. Place the juicer on a flat, stable surface.
  2. Set the jug back in position so it sits evenly.
  3. Test again with a small amount of citrus fruit.

If the jug leaks from the base, cracks are visible, or liquid reaches the electrical parts, stop using the juicer and contact the retailer or store where it was purchased.
