Possible Causes

Blocked air intake in frother, Dirty milk frother nozzle, Incorrect milk type or temperature, Worn frother seals

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug and allow the frother to cool before disassembly.

Steps:

  • Clean frother: Disassemble the milk frother head and nozzle. Soak in warm water with milk system cleaner, then rinse.
  • Check air intake: Ensure the small air hole on the frother is not blocked.
  • Use proper milk: Use fresh, cold milk (3–3.5% fat). Very hot or UHT milk froths poorly.

If seals are worn or parts are damaged, replace the milk frother assembly or seal kit.
