I'm not sure if there is a fuse or a breaker but you have obviously lost power to it. You can take it apart .. Just start unscrewing every screw you can get to it comes apart but difficult to fix anything in it. Buy a new one not a rebuilt one !!' Good coffee for sure! I went back to my drip machine but loved my delonghi! While it lasted!

Hi Raj! Yes, that wand to the right of the machine is a steaming wand as well as a hot water dispenser. There is a dial on the right side of the machine that will give you the option to steam or dispense water. Steaming your milk produces the foam and froth you desire. If you don't know how to steam your milk, YouTube videos may help? Hope this answered your question. :)

Sounds like it is broken. Send it back. You should at least see steam. It got the bottles to hot for me and I don't have time for that with a crying baby. Send it back.

Make sure the water reservoir is pushed down ALL THE WAY. I had mine pushed down and the steamer worked, but the pump wasn't getting any water. When my boyfriend tried to push down the water reservoir harder, the machine started working! Good luck!

I had a couple occasions that a particular carton of milk did not froth. Could be the milk. That was the case for me. Try a different brand or carton

I think my previous answer got sent before I was finished typing... when it finishes steaming it beeps, and then a light flashes. I do not know how long the light will flash, but all steaming and heating stops. Does that answer clarify things?

I agree with the other comments. I would set the timer and the switch for the steam. Wait for the steam to start and that's it. If that doesn't work, then there is a problem with your steamer.

Unless the nozzle has become clogged, I can't think of any reason why, after building up a head of steam, it wouldn't discharge. Perhaps there's something wrong with the trigger. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Bob Waterstone

No zots? No light? No heat? Sounds BROKE to me! Really, take it back where you bought it and replace it or get your money back. Mine lights up when I push the on button and heats up immediately.

hi, I got a couple of new ones from Nespresso, made no difference...I just think the machine is not up tp it, I even got anew machine and more whisks...but this week, not much froth, just warm milk, very annoying...yet my friend has an old machine that works every time...need to find an antique! Good luck. Am going to put my machine on e bay...never been so disappointed, I was going to buy a machine for my sons...but they are not keen any more having seen my results.

I don't but I actually need to replace mine as well. With mine, the frother starting making odd sounds and while steam would come out of the want it would not froth the milk. I'm not sure if you have the same problem but I was able to fix mine in the interim. I determined that there was a loss in seal with the plastic gasket that goes inside the metal wand housing. I applied some duct tape to the housing and then slid the gasket on over the top, using some force to make sure it was very snug. That fixed the problem immediately and that solution has worked well for a few months now. I do plan to reach out to DeLonghi customer service however to inquire about new parts at some point.

I've had my Krups machine for one year. I have not experienced that problem except once when doing a cleaning cycle -- I did not get it popped back on correctly. But I seldom use the steaming wand. Check to make sure the wand clicks back into place.

I used it for 2-3 years microwaving milk because my espresso steamer stopped working, so I would microwave my milk to warm it and then froth it. Perhaps you are frothing too much volume of milk? I used 2% and whole with rechargeable batteries and it still works today.

Turn the dial all the way to max. Yes, you will or should hear a motor running but it's very quiet. Steam comes out right away. If none of that happens then return the unit.

turn off machine, bleed off steam and water from frothing tube. turn machine back on and it is ready almost immediately.

I had a similar problem after four-ish months because I was only rinsing the frother with water after using it. Now once a week I brush both sides of the screen with a toothbrush before pumping it through some water and it still works. I haven't changed the type of milk (2%) and I froth both hot or cold milk, depending on what I feel like having.

I can't always see the steam and it runs blowing air if no steam so that may be what you're seeing. You should see the indicator lights on the front while power is on. While running I can't see the glow of the UV light. So if the reservoir empties, its working. I hope that helps you!
