How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the machine and allow it to cool. Steam components can be very hot.

  • Descale the machine: Run a full descaling cycle to remove limescale from the steam and hot water circuits.
  • Clean steam outlet: Remove and clean the steam nozzle or milk frother parts to ensure proper flow.
  • Check for error after cooling: After descaling and cleaning, let the machine cool fully, then power it on and test steam/hot water again.
  • If E13 persists: The steam NTC sensor or associated wiring may be defective. Replacement requires internal access; contact Bosch service.
