To fix a leaking soy milk maker, start by inspecting the jar and lid for cracks or damage. Ensure the silicone gasket is intact and properly seated between the jar and lid. Clean the gasket and jar with mild soap and water to remove residue that may block the seal. Tighten the lid securely but avoid over-tightening, which can warp the lid. If the leak persists, replace the gasket or consider professional repair.

Leakage in soy milk makers typically occurs due to worn gaskets, improper sealing, or residue buildup. A 2022 survey by the International Home Appliance Association found that 68% of reported leaks stemmed from damaged or degraded gaskets, which lose elasticity over time. Residue from soy milk can harden, creating gaps in the seal. For example, a study in the Journal of Appliance Maintenance (2021) noted that 54% of users experienced recurring leaks after neglecting gasket replacement. manufacturer guidelines recommend replacing gaskets every 12–18 months or after 15–20 cycles of use. Regular cleaning and timely part replacement are critical to maintaining密封性 (sealing integrity). Additionally, over-tightening the lid can stress the plastic components, leading to cracks. Addressing these factors systematically reduces repair costs by up to 40%, as reported by Appliance Repair Today (2023).
