Problem with frothing unit. I bought my Die-Cast machine 6 weeks ago and now that I try to froth some milk (I use and clean the unit every day), there is only the sound from the pump but nothing is happening. What can I do to fiy this?
It probably has a line clogged. It could be from backed up milk, but also could be the water you're using. Those things are finicky about have filtered water, especially because when the water heats up it can deposit calcium etc. onto the inner water lines. Only use store bought filtered water.

The steaming wand's tip gets gunked up with milk so make sure to clear that with a needle first. Make sure the machine is fully heated before using the stream function (should have an indicator light). Typically this model will expel water first, then a low pressure steam. After about 30 - 40 seconds it should produce meduim pressure steam. Make sure the pump is making the proper clunk, clunk sound or it could be failing. Also, the steam wand arm may be obstructed and descaler solution will have to be used to remove the deposits. Hope this helps.

I simply use a needle on mine. I don't believe the upper section gets blocked unless you have hard water. Then you will have to go with a descaler solution.
SOURCE: Too much water coming out of steam wand
I noticed the wand squirts hot water at first befor the steam comes out, sometimes for quite a while, so grab a bowl or something and let the water drain out until the steam comes and then put it in the milk. This is what I do and it makes awesome frothy steammed milk.
Good luck and enjoy.
