How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug before manipulating the reservoir or tilting the unit.
- Check reservoir valve and fill level: Ensure water flows freely from the reservoir valve when pressed.

- Descale: Remove internal scale that may block flow.
- Persistent humming with no flow: The pump may have a broken impeller and need replacement.
