Why is my cooler leaking?

A:

Leaks are most commonly caused when the drain gasket is not fully compressed or properly sealed.

Here’s what you need to know:

The only intended outlet for water in the plastic basin is the drain hole.

Two gaskets must be installed on the drain assembly: One gasket on the inside of the basin and one gasket on the outside

While it may appear that water is leaking from other areas, such as welded seams, leg screw holes, or the bottle catcher screw hole, this is typically just where the water travels once it escapes the drain hole due to gravity and internal pathways.

Tip: Always ensure the drain gasket is securely tightened to form a complete seal.

A loose or misaligned gasket is the most likely cause of any leaks.
