How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the machine and allow it to cool completely. Steam components can remain hot for a long time.
Steps:
- Operate valve: Turn the steam knob fully open and closed several times to dislodge minor debris.
- Descale: Run a descaling cycle and use the steam function to flush the valve.
- Inspect valve (advanced): Remove the side panel to access the steam valve body. Check for leaks around the stem and connections.
- Replace seals or valve: If dripping persists, replace the internal O-rings or the complete steam valve assembly.
