How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug and let the unit cool before handling.
- Fill reservoir fully: Ensure the reservoir is filled to the maximum line to minimize air ingestion.
- Descale: Run a full descaling cycle with vinegar and water to remove scale that can cause noisy boiling.
- Check for loose parts: Remove the bottom cover and verify that the heater tube and internal components are securely mounted and not rattling against the housing.
- Monitor operation: Some gurgling is normal, but very loud or metallic noises may indicate a failing heater, which should be replaced.
