Ascaso dream wand wont heat or steam

My Ascaso Dream has always run beautifully, & made beautiful coffee. Lately though, there's been some temperamental steam wand issues; every now & then when I flick the steam switch on, the temperature indicator shows that things are heating up nicely as they should, but when I turn the dial to start steaming the milk absolutely nothing happens; no steam, no sound, no water, no nothing. I touch the wand & it's almost cool to the touch. But then the next day, it might be fine, perfectly frothed milk. Currently it's not fine, there is no action from the wand whatsoever, but it continues to pour a beautiful coffee. I'm on the blacks until I can get some advice. Help anyone?

You should descale the machine, as you may have a blockage in the steam tap.
When descaling make sure that the descaled water goes through the steam wand as well as the group. JURA descaling tablets

SOURCE: Ascaso Dream water leak & bad shots

Hi
Sounds like you have a leak in the system. If your handy, you can remove the top. Remove everything. Water tank included. Unplug the machine. Now turn the machine upside down on a towel. There are 2 screws behind the brew head. Remove them, then lift the machine off the top and set it right side up. Now you can see the inside of the machine where the boiler is. Do not touch anything inside the machine. Replace everything and plug the machine in. Now turn the machine on and try to make a shot the same way. This should show you where your trouble is. Once you see where the trouble is, unplug the machine. Contact seattlecoffeegear.com, or 1st-line.com. They can help.

Ascaso Dream espresso machine leaks steam out of the brew head when the steam wand function is on.

Hi,
Steam leaking from the group when the steam function is turned on:
This is normal - as there is a spring valve which stops the steam escaping normally, however if you are not using the steam wand - steam has to escape somewhere and is vented through the group.

It will not affect the steaming - but you are better to make coffee 1st and then steam the milk.
The new Dreams have endless steam - which is great for larger groups over for dinner .. When the steam button is switched off the extra steam will vent into the water tank - new models with solenoid. https://www.bluestarcoffee.eu/ascaso-dream-pid-4272-p.asp

If when you switch on the machine and the water is cold then, you should replace the boiler element.

It may be that wires are loose inside?

Cant make hot milk or foam ascaso dream the wand doesnt work it just stopped. also my coffee is not hot, only lukewarm ive opened it up and everything looks ok, its all just electrics all of which look...

Hi Mike,
You may have 2 issues.
Steam wand may be blocked;
Try descaling the machine 1st before you do any thing else.

1.Try removing the steam tip, if you don't get steam with tip removed, try removing wand, if you don't get steam then the steam pin may be blocked.

If after descaling coffee is still jst warm you could replace thermostats http://www.bluestarcoffee.eu/ascaso--boiler-thermostats-x-2-193-p.asp

If you still don't have steam after descaling and replacing thermostats then you may need to replace the o rings on steam pin.
