My steamer will steam for a little while then the reset light comes on and the steam stops. I keep hitting the reset button but it will only steam a short time. What can I do to fix it?

It is limescale. Basically your steamer takes water and boils it dry and turns it to steam. Any minerals like calcium in your water is left behind as rocks or flakes.

It should be descaled once every couple of years. You can do it fast with a product like CLR, or overnight with white vinegar. Fill it up and leave it, next day, turn it on and get it hot, but not boiling. Turn it off and leave it to cool. Empty and rinse 3 or 4 times.

depends on how old it is, try to rinse it with a water and vinegar solution, this might help

make sure its not clog or the safe is not been kick.

To troubleshoot something like this.
1. make sure it's plugged and the outlet is working.
2. Is it getting hot? If not, either the heating element is burned out or not getting power.
3. If it is getting hot check the steam ports for calcium build up (run straight vinegar through it)

Have you tried a descale ?

the hoses sometime kink when hot then get hard in the kink part once cooled down.. you may need to fin the area and warm it up to let the steam pass..

Seems silly... but is it plugged in to a live outlet? Does it have water?

If the switch isworking then the only possible fact is that the heating element has failed and it might be too costly for a change.
