How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Clean steam tip: Unscrew the steam tip and soak in descaler. Use a pin to clear blocked holes.

Further diagnosis (unplug and cool first):

Check boiler heating: Verify that the steam boiler heats up (you should feel warmth on the boiler body). If not, test the steam thermostat, thermal fuse, and element.
Descale steam circuit: Run descaler through the steam wand to dissolve internal scale.
Replace faulty parts: Replace the steam thermostat, NTC sensor, or heating element if they test defective.
