Krups Coffee maker XP9000 Water Leak?

I have been using the machine for 4 years with no problems. Only home use once a day. Last week I found steam started coming from the side of the machine and the water was not heating. I sent it for repairs, technician said water was leaking on to the heating element and the repair cost will be $230.00. I felt it was too expensive. He wouldn't tell me exactly what the repair was. I am curious to know where and what part the leak is from? Any body had similar problem?

Krups Kitchen Appliances, Coffee Machines Maker Water Years

The water is heated in a zinc-aluminum alloy cast chamber. The alloy (aka Zamac, pot metal, etc.) is ubiquitous, but not metallurgicaly stable. A fraction of them warp or crack in months or years and others may last 6 or 7 decades.

The manufacturer's description of the water heater in this machine is "boiler" part number MS-0050944. It appears to be available in North America for around $65.

The remaining $165 for the $230 repair estimate would be for installing it and any parts that were needed you didn't mention and for testing it to be sure it worked properly.

The answer to the "answer" that was actually asking about using duct tape ... No, not on the outer case, that just traps the water somewhere it doesn't belong - and not inside, because even if it works to fix something like a cold water tank, it isn't food safe so putting it in your morning coffee puts your health at risk.

water leaks on the bottom of the coffee maker. Can I just put duct tape on it?
