#Unplug the machine and open the top. Check the machine for any loose or disconnected wires. Check the steam and brew thermostats specifically to make sure the leads to them are securely connected. 
#If there are no disconnected wires, your fuse likely needs to be replaced. The thermal fuse can be purchased on our site [https://www.wholelattelove.com/products/thermal-fuse-184c-limit here]
#This issue typically occurs because the machine is left on for an extended time without use, or the machine experienced a power surge. Home units like this should only be left on for a maximum of 45 minutes without use. The machine should be turned off if it is not going to be used within that time.

===Pannarello Nozzle Not Staying Attached===

If the pannarello nozzle attachment is not staying on the machine, or it keeps blowing off during steaming, then it is either not attached properly or is plugged with milk residues and needs to be cleaned. Please refer to the cleaning and attachment instructions covered in the [[#Difficulty Frothing|frothing issues]] section of this article.

#If the noises are occurring specifically during steaming, and it sounds like a loud pinging, then the sleeve insert on the pannarello assembly is not in [https://wiki.wholelattelove.com/images/6/68/ALL_MODELS_Pannarello_No_Froth_Fix.pdf  the proper position.]
