Possible Causes
Empty or incorrectly seated water tank, Blocked steam inlet, Failed steam generator heater, Faulty water level sensor
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power and allow any steam components to cool before opening covers.
- Check water tank: Ensure the water tank is filled to the correct level and properly seated in its compartment. Clean the tank contacts if present.
- Inspect steam inlet: Check the steam outlet/inlet in the cavity for blockages from food debris or limescale. Clean gently with a descaling solution if allowed by the manual.
- Test steam heater: Access the steam generator (usually behind or below the cavity) and test the heater element for continuity. Replace if open circuit.
- Check level sensor: If the model uses float or electronic level sensors, inspect for free movement and clean any scale build-up.
- Descale system: Run a descaling cycle if the manual provides one, using an approved descaler.
