Contact the manufacturer (Salton, Inc.) customer service siteforparts or manual. If they don't have them, they should know where to sendyou (though if they don't, I'd seriously wonder about the company). I'dtry the toll-free number first; the voicemail attendant will also give you the option of sending a priority email.

When is the last time you cleaned it out w/ vinigar?

I had the same problem. The issue was that the machine needed a clean to dissolve Calcium build up from the water. I used a commercial cleaner available at my local supermarket but have since used white vinegar and get just as good results. I just put about a cup of white vinegard in the water haopper and run the machine without the group attatched. I run the steamer wand and then put another cup through with the group attatched . I then rinse a few times with fresh bottled or distilled water.
