Possible Causes

Partially scaled heater, Failing temperature sensor, Low mains voltage, Dirty heater inlet filter reducing flow

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug and allow the unit to cool before working on the heater or water path.

  • Descale water path: Run a mixture of warm water and white vinegar through the clean water tank and heater system, then flush with clean water to remove limescale.
  • Clean inlet filters: Check and clean any mesh filters before the heater to ensure adequate flow.
  • Check mains supply: Avoid using long, thin extension cords that can cause voltage drop and reduce heater output.
  • Service heater if needed: If performance remains poor, the heater element may be partially failing and should be tested and replaced by a technician.

Using softened or filtered water can reduce future scale buildup in the heater.
