Possible Causes
No water supply to steam valve, Clogged steam inlet filter, Failed steam valve, Faulty steam generator sensor
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer and close the water supply valve to the steam function.
Steps:
- Check water supply: Ensure the water supply valve feeding the dryer is open and the hose is not kinked.
- Clean inlet filter: Turn off water, disconnect the inlet hose at the dryer, and remove the small filter screen inside the valve. Rinse debris and reinstall.
- Inspect steam hose: Check internal steam hoses for kinks or leaks (access via top panel).
- Valve and generator: If water supply is good but E13 persists, the steam valve or generator assembly may be faulty and require replacement.
