Possible Causes

Damaged or compressed door gasket, Blocked vent channels forcing steam out elsewhere, Misaligned door or hinges

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Beware of hot steam escaping from unexpected areas; it can cause burns.

  • 1. Inspect gasket: Check the entire perimeter of the door seal for gaps, tears, or hardened sections. Replace if compromised.
  • 2. Check door fit: Close the door and look for uneven gaps. Adjust or replace hinges if the door is twisted or misaligned.
  • 3. Clear vents: Ensure the designed vent outlet is clear so steam can exit where intended, not through the control panel.
