Possible Causes
Heavy limescale in thermoblock, Blocked filter basket or capsule outlet, Clogged flow restrictor, Dirty water filter in tank
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug and allow the machine to cool before descaling.
Steps:
- Descale: Run at least one full descaling cycle with Tefal-approved descaler. For severe scale, a second cycle may be needed.
- Clean filters: Remove and clean the filter basket, capsule holder, and any removable metal or plastic filters with warm soapy water and a soft brush.
- Check tank filter: If your tank has a removable water filter cartridge, replace it if clogged or expired.
- Flush with water: After descaling, run several cycles with fresh water to clear any loosened debris.
