What to do if Elma Steam Cleaner pump no longer delivers water?
- C
  Catherine RobinsonAug 4, 2025
  If the Elma Steam Cleaner (for basic P-HP machines with a pump) pump stops delivering water, check the water supply to ensure it's open. Also, if the machine was turned on with an empty pressure tank, causing the pump to exceed its 2-minute limit, perform an initial filling with approximately 2 liters of water and reset the pump by switching the mains power switch off and then on again. Ensure higher water pressure. If the issue persists, the sieve in the water connection may be clogged.

  If the pressure on your Elma Steam Cleaner does not increase to 4.5 bar and the LED heating lights are on, ensure the pressure tank screw cap is tightly closed. If necessary, replace the sealing ring. If the issue persists, the heater may be faulty, and the machine should be sent to a service point.

What to do if the 'Tank Empty' LED lights on my Elma Steam Cleaner even if the tank is full?

  If the Tank Empty LED lights on your Elma Steam Cleaner even when the tank is full, it might be due to heavy scale on the heater or thermostat. Rinse the pressure boiler. Alternatively, the heater may already be damaged by overheating due to heavy lime deposits, in which case the machine should be sent to a service point.
