How do I stop the iron from leaking?

Be sure the water cap is completely closed. When I first purchased mine, I realized once that I had not completely closed it so that it "snapped."

Is it leaking from the bottom or the top ?Mine does not leak. maybe it's overfilled

We have no leaking at all from this iron, having had it for quite a long time now. Don't know how long you have had yours, but they are warranted for 1 year.

We empty the water after ironing. We have never left the water in the iron between uses.

Noisy when filling the steam chamber. Never timed how long to heat. To prevent leaking press steam button away from fabric if it has been sitting for a while between ironing. The water occurs when the steam in the cord cools down. Should not happen if you are continuously ironing.

No, sounds like something isn't in tight. I've never had a problem with any of mine leaking. Give the company a call

Only noisy when you pull the trigger to let steam out, and occasional pump noise. Takes around 2 minutes to heat up. The leaking has more to do with the ironing board that the iron. Water can build up on the ironing board and wet what you are ironing. I always have a cloth and after every few items I wipe any portion of the board that may have a build up ( usually the pointed side of the board). However I do remember having similar issues with regular steam iron. This is still one of the best iron out there. I no longer have to use spray starch or sizing and my dress shirts comes out as crisp as with the starch. Only noisy when you pull the trigger to let steam out, and occasional pump noise.

Yes, I too faced this problem with my Black & Decker iron. The model is Quick 'N Easy 460. I thought it is the mineral deposits from the water being steamed and is quite irritating, but has happened only recently.

My machine did leak a bit too. When I moved the machine forward to fill up, I noticed water underneath it. My husband opened the machine up. There is a snap on piece and draws hot water up. He put silicone grease on it and it stopped. I will get more details soon on what he did.

I have never suffered leakage on ironing. The iron only makes a noise when it is reheating the water to produce more steam.

Mine doesn't leak, maybe put some pipe tape around the threads see if that works

Be sure you have reached the correct temperature for steam before using iron. And if this is not the issue I would contact manufacturer

any steam iron leaks if the selected setting is below the minimum steam setting.

It sounds like your boiler (reservoir) may be rusted. I am not sure how you would clean the reservoir. I would contact the company, if possible. I am surprised that this happened unless the iron is quite old and hadn't been used for quite a while. Good luck

Purchase a tube of Faultless brank "Hot Iron Cleaner." Follow instructions and this should help.

It is probably the water(minerals). U can by a special solution for cleaning out irons- can' t remember what it is called since I have quit ironing.maybe that will help..

Place a zip tie around the hose and the connector and tighten it down to stop the leaks. Be sure the hose is all the way on before using the zip tie.

I liked the fact that it floats above the fabric. I do like this iron but the water does leak and I'm not happy about that.

I really think you got a defective one. That defeats the purpose of the flat iron if it can't close!

I'd expect its the pipe. I've used sharbite fittings a few times now; best advise I got about using them is clean, square, sanded pipe cuts. Everytime a pressure test showed a leak, it was the condition of the pipe end.
