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.
