Possible Causes
Blocked steam vent, Clogged internal air channel, Faulty pressure relief valve, Excessive scale in heater causing steam lock
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit and allow it to cool completely. Steam can cause severe burns.
- Inspect vent openings: Check the top and sides of the coffee maker for small vent slots. Clean any dust or coffee residue blocking them.
- Descale thoroughly: Run a full descaling cycle to remove mineral buildup that can trap steam in the heater block and tubing.
- Check lid and gasket: On models with a sealed brew chamber, inspect the lid gasket for deformation or blockage of vent holes. Clean and reseat the gasket.
- Internal inspection (advanced): Remove the housing to locate the steam/pressure relief valve and vent tubing. Ensure the tubing is not kinked or clogged. Replace a stuck or corroded relief valve.
