The red light keeps turning on and off, although the steam continues to emit from the machine. There is always enough water in the tank when this happens. Why is this happening? I am worried that there may be an electrical problem.

I'm not sure why that happens to you. I know that it turns off when the water is gone. I have three machines and none of them do what you are saying. I would just contact the company.

I think the red light comes on when the heater comes on. No idea why you'd need to know that, since the plate is hot either way. I am returning mine, it leaks all over the place, including from where the wire attaches to the iron!

Perhaps they have changed something but ours does not have a red light. Perhaps the flashing red means it is heating. Does it heat up? Did you try a different setting rather than on high? I'd try to leave it on a couple hours to see what happens. If it does not go off, then malfunction.

Ya I have the same problem to and called the company and they said don't pay any attention to it. Some time after a vehicle passes and you hit the red light it will go off. But most of the time it stays on. Hope that helped a little.

I don't think so. Mine continues to produce steam until the timer goes off. Sounds like a malfunction. I guess maybe make sure it's got enough water (seems obvious, I know). Other than that I'd call the company!

It comes on when it is heating so that the water is maintained at a consistent temperature. The heater does not run constantly however and that is why the light goes off.

If the light is turning red check the sensor. If ita not turning on at all, it could be a circuit issue.

When the red light comes on the machine shuts off, when you are not running it smooth enough across that area. And then when the red light comes on, turn it off and on again.

There is a mist. There are two buttons -- one for the light and the other is the on/off switch. Also, if the reservoir is too full, the mister will not work.

What size is your Tank? Does the red light come on on the heater to show it is on when heating? I have a 75 gal. tank with a 300watt heater and it stays in the middle 70's.

The tank might need air. Turn off supply to r/o. Expel all water from tank. Put 7 psi of air in tank. Check if valve leaks by putting soapy water on valve.

I have not had that problem, but If it doesn't stay on Long enough to start steam, let it cool, remove the glass "jar" underneath and make sure the small thermal probe is clean. The unit will turn off no matter how much time is on the timer if that probe thinks there is not enough water in the "jar" which contains the heating element.

If your water tank is full and there are 2 solid green lights on, and you turn the knob farthest on the right (the machine's left), water should come out. If you press the furthest right button in the group of 3 on the top left, you'll get steam rather than water. If you're not getting water output, something is wrong. Hope this helps (?) and that your machine is functioning correctly.

The light on ours goes out when the top water reservoir goes empty and the bottom water reservoir drops below a certain level. I then turn the machine off, refill both reservoirs, then turn machine back on. I use both switches only to start the boil, then I turn off the high switch. It still boils but uses less energy.

Mine stopped working also as seen below. Lights on and no steam. Emailed the company then decided to use a syringe and push air through upper tube. Did it twice and steaming!

Sounds like either it's not heating up and building pressure, or like there's a leak in the system. Either way, for an inexpensive machine like this, it will likely cost more to fix than to just replace.

Make sure it's warmed up to the green light comes on then try. Also make sure black tube that feeds the machine is all the way to the bottom of tank as well. If making a loud noise before green light comes on its deff a defective product send it back asap, that's all I can help with there.
