If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.
Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect from mains and allow the machine to cool completely. Do not open the housing unless you are trained to work on high-voltage appliances.
User-level actions:
- Descale thoroughly: If the machine still heats somewhat, run a full descaling cycle to remove scale that may be causing localized overheating.
- Check power supply: Ensure the outlet provides stable voltage and is not controlled by a weak extension cord or power strip.
- Restart: After cooling, unplug for 10 minutes, then reconnect and test.
When to call a technician: Persistent E06 indicates a failed heater, thermal fuse, or control board relay. These require electrical testing and replacement by a professional; do not attempt to bypass safety devices.
