First of al, do not panic or try to defy physics ( like I did ) just let it all cool down. It is a great machine.

You might want to plug it in but not start it. This might unlatch the lock.

SOURCE: Karcher SC 1502 steam cleaner can't get cap off water tank

Dear jrider784,
I solved a problem like this on FIXYA, just a few months ago. I gave this solution. Try to fill the machine from somewhere else. You can do this from the outlet. If you manage to do this, put on the machine. ( now you know that when there is hot water in the machine, the tap goes round free for safety). Now as the water starts to cool down....start trying to see if you can unscrew it. My plan is that with the hot water, the safety will start to work again. If the cap does not release the safety on cooling, then there is no other way but to destroy the cap and replace with a new one. Very important to mention that this job must be done by a qualified technician or some one who knows what he is doing. Working with hot water is very dangerous.
Regards,
Fulltech.

SOURCE: Steamer filler cap is sealed

You need a little more leverage--either a strap type tool or a pair of adjustable width pliers that span the width of the cap. Try running hot water over the cap first which may loosen it enough to remove by hand.

Why doesnt my Haan steamer turn on

If your Haan steamer is not turning on, there could be various reasons for this. Here are some troubleshooting procedures to assist you in identifying and maybe resolving the issue:

Check the Power Source: Make sure the steamer is plugged into a working power source. Check if the outlet is operational by using another device or appliance.

Inspect the Power Cord: Look for any visible damage, such as frayed or exposed wires, on the power cord. If there is any damage to the cord, do not use the steamer until it has been fixed or replaced.

Safety Locks and Buttons: Some steamers feature safety locks or buttons that must be engaged before the unit will turn on. Check the user handbook for any special instructions regarding these safety measures.

Water Reservoir: Ensure that the water reservoir is appropriately filled. Many steamers require water to generate steam, therefore they may not operate if the reservoir is empty or the water level is too low.

Safety systems: Some steamers have safety systems that prohibit them from starting if specific requirements are not satisfied. For example, the steamer may need to reach a certain temperature before it can be used. Allow the steamer some time to attain the required temperature.
Overheating Protection: If the steamer includes overheating protection, it will stop down briefly if it becomes too hot. Allow the steamer to cool before using it again.

A malfunctioning power switch or electrical circuitry could be the source of the problem. If you've examined all of the external causes and the steamer still won't switch on, it may need to be inspected and repaired by an expert.

I hope you can solve your problem.

Re: Low pressure on WhiteWing steam cleaner
1. Make sure the safety switch for the hose handle on the right side of the hose handle is turned to the closed position. To do that, push it away form the hose.
2. Make sure the steam release button (next to the on/off button on the control panel on the steamer) is in the Off position.
3. Make sure the safety cap is tightened.
4. Make sure you have enough water in the tank (at least half a bottle of water)
I hope this helps.
