How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug before panel removal.
- Check user settings: On PID models, ensure steam mode is enabled in the menu and that you are following the correct procedure to switch modes.
- Inspect switch: Remove the front panel and check the steam mode switch or button PCB. Look for broken solder joints or loose connectors.
- Test switch continuity: With a multimeter, verify that the switch closes when pressed or turned.
