Possible Causes

Worn O-rings on steam wand, Loose compression nut, Cracked steam pipe, Scale preventing proper sealing

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug and allow the machine to cool completely. Steam can cause severe burns.

Repair steps:

  • Tighten fittings: Gently tighten the nut securing the steam wand to the body (if accessible). Do not overtighten soft brass fittings.
  • Replace O-rings: Remove the steam wand and replace any O-rings or seals with heat-resistant, food-grade parts.
  • Descale wand: Soak the wand in descaling solution to remove internal scale that may prevent valves from closing fully.
  • Inspect pipe: Replace any cracked or pinholed metal steam pipes.
