Sage Barista Express:
Steam wand not working
These are some of the Barista Express faults we see regularly. Start with the symptom closest to yours. We will never diagnose a machine from a webpage, but we can help you understand the sensible next step.
Steam wand not working
WHAT YOU MAY NOTICE
The rest of your Barista Express may appear to work normally, but the steam wand produces very little steam or no usable steam at all.
You may also notice that the steam is weaker than it used to be, takes much longer to start or stops part-way through steaming.
SAFE NEXT STEP
Make sure the steam tip is clean and use only the manufacturer-approved cleaning method.
Do not insert tools into the steam wand while it is hot and do not dismantle the wand or internal steam components yourself.
HOW WE CAN HELP
A weak or non-working steam wand can be caused by a blockage, but it can also be related to a valve, heating or other internal component fault.
We can test the steam system properly, identify whether the issue is a blockage or a failed component and carry out the correct repair.
