If your Philips Saeco Syntia coffee machine is filling up the drip tray too quickly after a period of non-use, there are a few potential causes to consider:
Drip tray not properly positioned: Make sure the drip tray is correctly placed and aligned within the machine. If it's not positioned properly, it may not collect the excess water as intended.
Clogged or blocked brew unit or coffee grounds chute: Over time, coffee grounds and oils can accumulate and clog the brew unit or the coffee grounds chute. This can cause excessive water to bypass the proper channels and end up in the drip tray. Clean the brew unit and the coffee grounds chute according to the manufacturer's instructions to ensure proper functioning.
Faulty water level sensor or float: The coffee machine relies on a water level sensor or float to detect the water level and prevent overflow. If this sensor or float is malfunctioning or stuck, it may not accurately detect the water level, resulting in excessive water in the drip tray. Contact Philips customer support or a qualified technician to diagnose and fix the issue.
Pump or valve issues: Problems with the pump or valves in the machine can cause water to flow too quickly or improperly, leading to overflow in the drip tray. A professional inspection and repair may be required to address these internal components.
In any case, it's recommended to consult the user manual of your specific model for troubleshooting steps and guidelines provided by the manufacturer. If the issue persists, contacting Philips customer support or reaching out to a professional coffee machine repair service would be advisable to ensure proper diagnosis and resolution of the problem.
It's not unusual for a refrigerator to drip a little water on the floor after you replace the water filter-air trapped in the water dispenser system can make the water dispenser drip enough to overflow the drip tray below the dispenser. You can fix it by streaming a gallon or two of water through the dispenser to eliminate the trapped air.
If water drips on the floor from the back of the refrigerator, a leaking water inlet valve or cracked water system tubing could be the cause. A clogged or cracked defrost drain tube could also cause the leak. Defrost condensate water collects in the drain pan at the bottom of the refrigerator so a cracked or overflowing drain pan can also cause water to drip on the floor behind the refrigerator. Check the drain pan for cracks and clean out any foreign objects that may be inside the drain pan.
Excessive frost caused by a leaking door seal can also cause the defrost drain pan to overflow. Check the door gaskets and replace them if damaged.
Check the overflow pipe inside the fridge..it could be blocked and not letting the water get to the drip tray.
Best way to find out where the water drain is, is to look up the make and model on google and see where the pipe is
You did not say if you have a dehumidifier or air conditioner installed on this unit. If those are not installed on it then the only place moisture could be coming from is down the exhaust connection for the flue. If one or both of those items are installed then the issue is the drain trays might have debris built up that you cannot see.
This is a simple fix but will take a little time to correct this. First of all, empty the freezer of food and shelving, ice maker if you have it also. The back wall in the freezer is a false wall, so gain access by removing screws and harness from top left corner. By the way turn off the unit or unplug it!! Now at the bottom of the unit far back you will see an ice glassier in the bottom middle is a drain hole that all the water is to exit after defrost. Well because its blocked with ice the water overfills and leaking into the refer section. Make sure you can use hot water to clear this out but make sure you cleaned out the entire drain system before reassembling this to restore cooling. Once clear you problem is solved.

If it continuously drips, replace the water
inlet valve on the back where the house water supply comes in.
