Food Processor: Leaks Liquid
A repair is needed if your food processor is leaking liquid. Our experts have nared down the most common parts for causing this problem to the bowl, lid, and seal. Use our guide to help determine which part needs to be replaced and how you can quickly and easily fix it yourself.
Seals
The seals on your food processor can become dry and brittle, resulting in a leak over time. The seal can likely be found as part of the base assembly. To change the seal or seal ring, unplug the unit and remove the screws holding the base cover in place.
Lids
A crack in your food processor lid could be the source of a leak. To replace your food processor lid, remove the large and small pushers and take off the lid.
Bowls
If the bowl on your food processor is cracked or damaged, it could cause a leak. The bowl will need replacing if it is leaking, as food and liquid could leak into the mechanical components of the processor and cause more damage. Remove the pushers, lid, and blades before removing the damaged bowl and replacing it with a new one.
