I researched this and got a long, involved explanation about how to fix this by taking the bottom plate off and disconnecting the clip that holds the tubes together. It did not work. I couldn't get the clip off properly and I was told you could see inside the tube that carries the water to the bottom plate. They said it gets clogged and you could take it apart and clean it out. I couldn't do any of that. I ended up scrapping it and buying a different brand - a Shark. I was very disappointed with the Black and Decker. It worked well when it worked, but it did not last very long.

I've had the same issue! I had the machine only 2 months before the steamer wand stopped working. I was worried this could happen so have been very careful to make sure I clean the machine while it's still hot to avoid any clogging. I even ran the machine several times with just hot water and I still can't get it to work. It has been out of commission for 3 months now.

Yes, it will stop in short time, usually when the water starts to get hot. It will happen every time you turn it on. It is normal!

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

No steam should come out once the unit is up to pressure. It will steam while it is pressuring up, but make sure the valve is in the right position. Once it has built up pressure it should seal itself off!

no problem with steam coming out of water pan. Are you setting the heat too high ?Lower the heat, it only has to stay cooking !

Sorry, I have the same answer as many other victims. My steamer didn't work and both lights were on. The head of the steamer would get hot but no steam. If it's been less than a year, you can contact Conair to replace the item but you will have to pay for shipping. Unfortunately, if you read some of the reviews here, that sounds like a waste of money too. I had to throw mine away.

Mine stopped steaming so I just use it as a damp mop. Tried white vinegar to clean it but did not work

The hot steam does not work again. This is my second unit. I am returning the steamer and buying something else.

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.

Steamer doesn't hold that much water so I keep it going till it stops..u will know Its close to empty. U can use as often as u want..it only helps your skin.

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.

Hmmm I don't know why that would be happening, just run it a few times maybe just to clear it at what point does itn spatter?? When it first starts to steam ?

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?

The button is an on/off switch. If you turn it off, no steam. Nice, if you had to stop in the middle of the job to tend to something else.

Not tottaly shut off, the steamer stop to came out, and starts to blink a red light. Yes you can choose just one color for the light.

I am not really sure because I found the steamer to be too heavy to hold up and use. Maybe using less water might have helped but I gave it away. Don't know what happened to it after that.
