If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.
Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Allow the oven to cool and disconnect power before accessing internal steam components. Hot steam can cause severe burns.
Basic user checks:
- Ensure the water tank is filled with clean water and correctly inserted into its compartment.
- Remove and reinsert the tank firmly to ensure proper engagement with the internal valve.
Internal checks (advanced):
- Access the steam generator assembly (usually behind a side or top panel).
- Inspect the water inlet hose and filter for kinks or blockages; clean or replace as needed.
- Test the steam generator heating element for continuity with a multimeter; replace if open.
- Check the water level sensor or float switch for free movement and correct electrical operation.
Because steam systems operate under pressure and high temperature, complex repairs should be performed by a trained technician.
