Top performance, Recoverable design flaw

Now the often described design flaw that causes the device to fail within a few weeks:

I have the equipment ordered in the knowledge of the mistake, as I thought to myself, who will be at ease to find and fix easily, since it is important that water seeps into the appliance.

Now a quick look and it is clear where the fault lies:

At the top of the water basin where the transition to the plastic housing is, there is a several millimeters large (freely and easily visible) gap through which the water flows over it when emptying the unit forcibly. Of course, water penetrates into the unit, which can be difficult to get out again and eventually destroy the electronics.
So one must be already accuse AEG: The engineer who graduated from the Iwo lottery belongs immediately dismissed and one should its products before they sold at least a 10 minute drive ... View

The Solution:

The solution is simple: the density gap from and you get little money for a top unit.

I sat down for 30 minutes and very primitv pasted over the gap with dozens of small vertically mounted Tixostreifen. That the Tixo forced also covers a few centimeters of the metal pan, is irrelevant to the cleaning performance because the sound waves pass through yes.
Now holds for more than half a year and I can not have any problems like mold etc. notice as I let the cover after cleaning always open, so that it can dry out.

Maybe there are better solutions, this certainly works and can be applied by any average person.

Conclusion: Reasonable price + Tixo + 30 minutes = peaks device
Strong buy recommendation for each ordinary consumers
