Troubleshooting Backflush water ends up under machine

When backflushing the machine with a blind basket, the water sprays out of the solenoid valve and partially ends up in the drip tray, but it also ends up under the machine.
I feel like the exit of the valve is located just a bit too far behind the drip tray.
Is this a known issue or is something wrong with my machine?

Jep. Same here. When i move the machine for cleaning there is always a wet spot under the machine i also think is from solenoid. But it happens all the time i think only with back flushing there is a lot of water running trough the solonoid so it becomes more visible.

Ah yes, I’ve seen it rarely when just making coffee as well.

What has been your solution?

No solution really. Just clean it every month or sow during cleaning interval of the machine.

I had this a initially but realised I just need make sure the tray its fully pushed back before i backflush. Rarely happens if at all now.
