No Steam From Wand
- Check the brew function on the machine and see if water is able to flow through the machine for this function.
- If the brew water is not flowing either refer to the No Flow At All section of this article
- If the brew water flows but is not hot refer to the On But Not Heating section of this article.
- Turn the hot water function on for the steam wand to test for flow.
- If nothing comes through refer to the Only Flow From Brew Head section of this article.
- If water does come through try setting the machine to steam mode again and testing for steam. Running the hot water function can help remove blockages in the steam wand assembly.
- Check the steam knob on the top of the unit. This knob should only turn about halfway. If the knobs can spin almost 360°, or can spin continuously, then there is a part out of position. There is a part that is called a steam cam which needs to be aligned. Follow these instructions for resetting the steam cam.
- Unplug the machine and remove the top to check for any loose or disconnected wires, and re-secure these connections.
- If nothing else looks wrong then the steam thermostat has probably failed in will need to be replaced. Instructions for replacing the thermostat can be downloaded here.
