Why does my citrus juicer keep leaking after I have cleaned it?

If your citrus juicer leaks after cleaning, a part is usually not refitted correctly, a seal area is carrying residue, or the jug is not positioned centrally. Unplug the appliance and rebuild it carefully before the next use.

1. Take the unit apart and check that the jug, filter and cone are all dry and free from trapped pulp before reassembly. The citrus juicer manuals describe a completely dismantable design with dishwasher-proof parts, so each removable part should be checked individually. Expected result: the leakage point becomes easier to identify. If the parts do not fit together neatly, stop using the appliance. fileciteturn0file0turn0file1
2. Reassemble the juicer one part at a time and confirm that each piece sits flush. Expected result: the drip stops once the parts are aligned. If leakage continues from the same area, stop using the product.
3. Check the jug rim, cone base and spout for cracks, chips or trapped debris. Expected result: a clean, undamaged fit prevents drips. If you see damage, contact the retailer or store where it was purchased.
4. Make sure the juicer is on a level worktop and that the non-slip feet are holding it steady. Expected result: liquid stays in the jug rather than shifting to one side. If it still tips or slides, stop using it.
5. Inspect the outside of the base for moisture before plugging the appliance back in. If liquid has reached the electrical parts, stop using the product immediately.

To reduce repeat leaks, rinse the removable parts soon after juicing and let them dry before storage. That helps stop pulp from drying around the sealing edges and spout.
