my steamer leaks water all over the floor
45268
the steamer leaks because water has filled the hose and the pressure forces water out from the connection between the water container and the base. To solve this problem, you need to hold the nozzle high to let the water in the hose drain back into the steamer. This unclogs the hose so that steam can flow properlu.

Mine did too. Unfortunately the warranty was expired by that time so I just threw it away when I got tired of trying to rig a pan underneath.

This is a very poor product. Scum. I had a same problem after only a few uses. They even don't have customer service line and I have to trash it

Ronda, I didn't have this problem, so maybe the cap is defective or missing a part.

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 haven't experienced this. Is the water level getting low or have you noticed that the "Steam Ready" indicator light is off (meaning that you have used up the available steam and must wait for the unit to build up steam) ? Other than that, I can't think of a reason for the situation you describe.

I have not experienced this problem, but check if the steam is actually being vented from the relief valve. I own two of these espresso makers, the first one purchased 2 years ago from Sur La Table, the other purchased recently from Amazon. The one more recently purchased has issues with steam leaking from the valve. My first one never did this. If the steam is, in fact, leaking from the gasket, don't over tighten, but rather reseat the gasket and see if that works. If it doesn't replace the gasket with a new one. If that doesn't work, there may be an issue with the fit of the top and bottom parts and the espresso maker should be returned for a replacement.

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.

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.

That would be my guess as well. Had it happen only once and did let it heat a while before using. Think the excess water turned to steam and all was well. I love my steamer.

You can but I wouldn't buy it for that. It is the best steamer for floors I have had and I owned three other brands. Use distilled water or you will clog this unit up with water gunk.

Have not used the steamer yet. Don't know. Maybe you can contact Aroma customer service.

Mine leaked. Your best bet is to return it but I was too lazy. I used an old sock and then the plug to prevent the table from leaking.

I'm dissapointed. The steamer I bought cannot work absoultly. Steam cannot come out. Since it is not expensive and it is too trouble to return or exchange, I don't want to pay attention to it anymore.

Go over it with a towel.this dries the floor and also allows you to see how clean the floor actually is after steaming

The steamer is constructed for vertical use. The slightest tilt and there is a risk of sputtering and leaking.

Anything you put into the steam mop other then distilled water will form a residue on the heating elements and cause them to fail prematurely. I suggest you lightly broadcast the cleaning agent on the floor before you do the steam mop on it.

I think your steamer is working fine. It does not take much to do the job. I found that mine has more steam than my old one but the old one was not a Rowenta. You should be able to see a fine mist of steam
