How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Ensure the machine is off and cooled before removing the steam tip.
Steps:
- Unscrew the steam tip and soak it in hot water with milk cleaner. Use a pin to clear each hole.
- Run steam briefly with the tip removed to confirm flow through the wand.
- If no flow, descale the machine focusing on the steam circuit.
- Inspect the wand for kinks or blockages; clean internally if accessible.
Resolution: If the wand remains blocked, the steam solenoid valve may be clogged or failed and should be cleaned or replaced by a technician.
