Possible Causes

Overheat protection tripping due to scale, Faulty thermal cutoff, Intermittent power connection, Control board sensing false completion

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug and allow the unit to cool before further use.

  • Descale the system:
    • Run a full descaling cycle with vinegar and water to remove scale that can cause overheating.
  • Check power stability:
    • Plug directly into a wall outlet (no extension cord).
    • Avoid outlets controlled by wall switches.
  • Test with water only:
    • Run a cycle with just water to see if it still stops early.

If the problem persists, the thermal cutoff or control board may be failing and should be inspected by a technician.
