Possible Causes

Partially failed heater element, Heavy limescale buildup, Incorrect thermostat/NTC value, Low mains voltage

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug and allow the heater to cool before inspection.

  • Descale heater: If accessible, remove the heater and soak in a descaling solution compatible with aluminum or stainless steel (per manual). Rinse thoroughly.
  • Check heater output: With a thermometer, measure solution temperature at the nozzle after a few minutes of operation. If only slightly warm, the heater may be failing.
  • Test heater resistance: Use a multimeter to compare heater resistance to service specs. Replace if out of range.
  • Verify NTC/thermostat: Replace the temperature sensor or thermostat if it is cutting off heating prematurely.
