SMEG Steam Circuit Blockage or Low Temperature

Steam wand does not produce steam or only emits water.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Clogged steam wand tip, Scale in steam circuit, Boiler not reaching steam temperature, Faulty steam valve

Safety first: Steam can cause severe burns. Turn OFF, unplug, and allow the machine to cool before working on the wand.

Clean wand tip: Unscrew the steam tip (if removable) and soak it in hot water with descaler. Use a pin to clear each hole.
Purge wand: With the machine on and warmed, open the steam valve for several seconds to purge water and air.
Descale: Run a descaling cycle focusing on the steam circuit as described in the manual.
If still weak: The steam valve or boiler heater may be faulty and require professional service.
