why does it run but does not put out any steam

I have the same thing. I sort of tilt it until it feeds water to the bottom

I've had mine for over a year. There are two possibilities. It might be out of water, but I'm sure you checked that. It might need a dose of vinegar in the water to clear out any deposits left by hard water. Use just a little vinegar in the water, run it for fifteen minutes or so and see if steam comes out. If it does, run it a little longer and then dump the vinegar water and replace it with plain water. Hope that helps.

In order to run properly, the H1000 must be level. A carpet will allow the devise to tilt . . . which I learned from experience.

I really have not used it enough to know for sure. On my old one, if it was on steam setting, steam sort of flowed out of it but to get a lot I had to push the button. My new one seems to do the same.

First question are you using distilled water? Any other water will partially plug ducts and spit and sputter. Second, is it fully heated? If not then give it five more minutes or so. If it is still not working as it should, your machine needs some repair. My machine provides continuous steam. Good luck...when working properly, the machine is great!

I have not notified anyone yet but it is currently not working for some reason. It was great last Winter but I just took it out last week and cannot get it to steam at all

The only water I get is when I turn off the steam. The left over steam dumps into the bottom tray. No problems since I bought it 6 months ago. Just have to make sure you clean it and take care. A lot of the problems I've seen people posting could be cured by preventative maintenance.

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.

no steam. Yes, has auto shut off. In fact it will surprise me sometimes in the middle of project but heats bk up very quickly.

I would call Electrolux, my steamer is in the shop right now. It was not getting hot enough, & Electrolux had me bring it to a repair shop. Maybe they can help you?

This is not normal mine has lots of steam coming from it. Make sure the piece that goes over the heating element isn't pluged - just take out and rinse it off. Hope this helps.

I put 3/4 full of water and it takes no more than 1 minute to steam up. The problem with my machine is that it didn't hold the steam for too long. While plug in the socket. I will purchase another one. Because while the steam was working it cleaned my shower and bathroom perfectly. So don't anyone feel that this product won't work, it's just that I may have had a defective machine

I wish I could tell you. I waited over a month for it to be shipped and it never worked. It turned on but never produced steam. The company is shipping me a new one this week so once I get the new I can let you know. I believe it is on the warm side.

Difficult to tell. Check the wwater reservoir connecton with machine. Also make sure you drained the stam out throug wand. There is a valve that prevents water from coming out when steam is present. I.e there is preasure build up.

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.

In order for it to steam, the receptacle has to be filled with water, the switch on the front of the mop has to be flipped to "steam," and the plate the mop pads velcro to must be attached. If you've taken all of these steps, check the outlet where it is plugged in (when I clean at work, only two outlets out of four actually function!). If it still doesn't work, you may have a defective machine. Hope this helps.

Are you adding enough water? I find that if I don't add enough water I get no steam otherwise it works great!! I hope I don't offend you but are you pulling the trigger?

It occasionally lets off a small amount of steam as it starts up, but no smoke, ever. I've had one for 6 or seven years, two different models. And I have a quite sensitive smoke alarm.

Steam does not come out if you are not pulling the trigger. The pad however is wet so getting it completely dry isn't really an option unless you put on a new pad. The other day I dropped the cleaner tank and didn't have an issue using it to help clean that up.
