Possible Causes

Empty or incorrectly seated water tank, Blocked water inlet to steam generator, Failed steam generator heating element, Faulty water level sensor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power and allow the appliance to cool before working near the steam generator.

  • Check water tank: Ensure the water tank is filled, correctly inserted, and that any float or magnet is moving freely.
  • Clean contacts: Wipe the tank contacts and the mating contacts in the oven with a dry cloth to ensure good electrical connection.
  • Descale system: Run a descaling program if available, using the recommended descaling agent for Gaggenau steam ovens.
  • Inspect inlet and hoses: Remove the tank and visually inspect the water inlet area for blockages or scale build-up.
  • Test steam function: After cleaning and refilling, start a steam program and observe whether steam is produced. If not, the steam generator or level sensor may be faulty.

Note: Accessing and testing the steam generator and level sensors involves exposure to high-temperature components and should generally be done by a professional.
