Learn the common causes of leaks in the Ceres Chill Freezable Inner Chamber and how to fix them. Quick diagnosis and step-by-step solutions.
Quick answer
Leaks in the Ceres Chill Freezable Inner Chamber usually come from overfilling, an improper seal, or using it before it's fully frozen. Check the steps below to diagnose and fix the issue.
Why leaks happen
The Freezable Inner Chamber is patent-pending and designed to be freezer-safe, but it has limits. Overfilling past the fill line or not leaving enough headspace for ice expansion can cause the chamber to crack or the lid to pop open. Also, if the chamber isn't completely frozen before use, melting ice can create pressure that forces liquid out.
Another common cause is a damaged or misaligned seal. The chamber relies on a tight fit to prevent leaks, and even a small gap can let water escape as the ice melts.
Diagnosis
- Symptom: Water or breast milk is leaking from the Freezable Inner Chamber during use.
- Likely cause: Overfilling (no headspace for ice expansion), not freezing the chamber fully before use, or a damaged/improperly seated seal. Check if the chamber was filled past the fill line or if the lid was not clicked shut.
- Corrective action: Empty the chamber, dry it, and refill to the correct line. Freeze for at least 8 hours. Ensure the lid is fully sealed before inserting into the Chiller. If the leak persists, inspect the chamber for cracks or warping.
- Stop or choose another option: If the chamber is cracked or warped, stop using it and replace it. Do not attempt to repair a damaged chamber. For long shifts, freeze the Inner Chamber for extra-strength chilling. For travel, consider using ice instead of freezing.
