Possible Causes

Blocked milk suction tube, Clogged milk frother nozzle, Milk carafe not detected, Faulty milk system sensor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the machine before disassembling the milk system. Hot milk and steam can cause burns.

  • Clean milk accessories: Disassemble the Kenwood milk frother, including the suction tube, connector, and frothing head. Soak all removable parts in warm water with a little detergent, then rinse thoroughly.
  • Check milk carafe seating: Ensure the milk carafe or external milk container is properly connected and pushed fully into its socket.
  • Run cleaning program: Many Kenwood models have a milk system cleaning cycle. Run this with clean water to flush internal milk lines.
  • Inspect for hardened milk: Use a fine brush or needle to clear any dried milk from small orifices in the frother head.
  • If E13 remains: The milk system sensor or internal milk valve may be faulty and should be serviced professionally.
