How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Allow the machine to reach full steam temperature before testing. Unplug and cool before disassembly.
- Clean steam tip:
- Unscrew the steam tip and soak it in hot water with a little detergent.
- Use a fine pin to clear each hole.
- Purge wand: Run steam for 20–30 seconds to clear condensation and debris.
- Descale: Run a descale cycle, ensuring the steam function is used to pull descaler through the steam circuit.
- Internal checks (advanced):
- Inspect the steam boiler temperature and thermostat operation.
- Check for kinks or blockages in the steam hose.
- Repair: Replace a faulty steam thermostat or heavily scaled steam boiler if descaling does not restore performance.
