Only Flow From Brew Head
- Remove the tip from the steam wand and test the flow using the hot water function. If flow is restored then the tip needs to be cleaned and reattached.
- If the flow is still blocked then there may be a blockage in the steam wand itself. Clean the wand by using a pipe brush that has synthetic or plastic bristles; metal bristles can damage the wand. Then soak the wand in a solution of hot water and backflushing powder for ten minutes. Test flow again.
- The solenoid valve may be dirty or blocked and will need to be disassembled and cleaned.
