Possible Causes
Damaged drawer/basket seal, Warped inner housing, Cracks around heater shroud, Blocked steam outlet redirecting moisture, Loose front panel screws
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Beware of hot steam; allow the unit to cool before disassembly.
- Normal vs. abnormal: Some steam from the rear exhaust is normal. Steam escaping from the control panel or sides is not.
- Inspect seals: Check the drawer/basket perimeter seal for cracks, flattening, or missing sections. Replace if damaged.
- Housing inspection: Remove the outer shell and inspect the inner metal/plastic housing for cracks or gaps where steam could escape toward the electronics. Replace the inner housing if deformed.
- Outlet cleaning: Ensure the designated steam outlet is not blocked by grease or debris.
- Panel screws: Tighten any loose screws around the front/control panel to minimize gaps.
