Fault
Cause
Remedy
Boiler is overfilled caused by
vacuum build-up
The pressure has risen too fast
because the boiler has not been
vented during heating-up.
Activate the pressure switch of the
iron.
Overfilling during normal operation
Cable leading to electrode defec-
tive
Check and replace, if necessary
Heating element cannot be
switched on
Pressure regulator line interrupted Check the line
Electric line leading to heating
defective
Check cable
Contactor defective
Replace contactor
Heating element defective
Replace heating element
Electronics defective
Replace PCB
Fill level detection defective
Replace fill level detection
Pressure drop in the boiler
Water level regulator defective
Replace PCB
Heating element defective
Replace heating element
Blow-down valve leaking
Replace ball valve
Temperature limiter defective
Replace temperature limiter and
determine the cause
Contactor defective
Replace contactor
Ball valve of blow-down assembly
leaking
During interruptions of operation
(e.g. overnight), leaking of the
ball valve may cause soaking and
overfilling of the boiler due to
vacuum build-up.
Ball valve leaking
Remove and clean ball valve;
replace, if necessary
Water is dripping out of the ball
valve -> stuffing box leaking
Remove control lever of the valve
and re-tighten stuffing box at the
hexagon screw (size 13 wrench).
ATTENTION!
Make sure the
locking strap is in the correct
position. When the ball valve is
closed, the locking strap must pre-
vent the valve from being opened
unintentionally.
Iron delivers water
Too much Lapidon in the boiler
Overdosage of Lapidon leads to
foaming of water. Therefore, water
can be carried away during steam
extraction.
Use the dosage specified in the
operating instructions.
Iron defective (heating)
Check and replace, if necessary.
Solenoid valve leaking
Check and replace, if necessary.
