Possible Causes
Blocked LatteGo or milk carafe, Clogged steam nozzle, Failed steam valve, Faulty milk frother sensor
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug and allow the machine to cool before handling the steam system.
- Disassemble milk system: Remove the LatteGo unit, milk carafe, or classic frother. Take apart all removable pieces and soak them in warm water with a bit of dish soap. Use the Philips cleaning brush to clear small channels.
- Clean steam nozzle: For classic wands, remove the tip and soak it in descaler solution. Use a pin to clear any blocked holes.
- Run milk cleaning program: If your Philips model has a milk cleaning cycle, run it with fresh water to flush the milk circuit.
- Descale: Perform a full descaling cycle to clear scale from the steam circuit and valve.
If E10 persists, the internal steam valve or sensor may be defective. This repair involves high-temperature and high-pressure components; professional service is advised.
