Possible Causes

Blocked steam vent, Warped top lid, Deteriorated lid gasket, Overfilled water tank

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Hot steam can cause burns. Unplug and allow the unit to cool before inspection.

  • Check fill level: Do not fill the water tank above the MAX line.
  • Clean steam vent: Locate the steam vent holes on the lid and ensure they are not blocked by scale or debris. Clean gently with a brush or toothpick.
  • Inspect lid gasket: Examine the rubber gasket around the lid for cracks, flattening, or hardening. Replace if deteriorated.
  • Check lid fit: Ensure the lid closes fully and latches properly. Warped lids may need replacement.
