Hi There,
Call Black & Decker. They do have a recall for the basket, which I already received. And now I've called them again because they feel the basket is the problem (still leaking). Well from my hubby and I, it isn't. When I did call they said run Vinager through it. I do not believe that is going to fix the problem. Now I just want money back, or a proper working machine. Good luck! I find this highly unusual for Black & Decker, our previous one lasted 20 years. But the quality isn't the same. Same with everything else that is made out there.
