How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the machine and allow it to cool before opening.

Step 1 – Confirm symptom

  • Run a hot-water cycle and measure the temperature at the outlet; it should be hot to the touch.
  • If consistently cold, proceed to further checks.

Step 2 – Descale

  • Perform a full descaling cycle; heavy scale can reduce heat transfer and cause temperature errors.

Step 3 – Internal inspection (advanced)

  • Unplug and remove the cover.
  • Check the thermoblock heater terminals and wiring for secure connections.
  • Inspect for burn marks or damaged insulation.

Step 4 – Component testing (for technicians)

  • Measure resistance of the heater and NTC sensor; replace if out of specification.
  • If both are good, suspect a control board fault.
