In simple terms, this component is the channel that transports steam generated by the boiler or thermoblock to the outside. Its main function is to allow milk emulsification, creating that dense foam typical of coffee shops, or to dispense hot water for tea and infusions. This particular version is equipped with an adjustment tap with a microswitch.\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003eSymptoms and Diagnostics (Q\u0026A)\u003cbr\/\u003eQUESTION: Why is the steam wand leaking water or steam?\u003cbr\/\u003eANSWER: Often the cause is wear of the internal o-ring seals or a micro-crack in the tube itself due to heat.\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003eQUESTION: Why is the steam coming out with low pressure?\u003cbr\/\u003eANSWER: There may be a blockage caused by limescale or dry milk residues inside the duct.\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003eQUESTION: Why is the steam light flashing on my Delonghi Magnifica coffee machine?\u003cbr\/\u003eANSWER: If the microswitch located in the milk frother group is faulty, the electronic board may detect the steam tap as if it were always open, thus blocking all other functions. Check that the microswitch or the tap is functioning correctly to resolve this issue.\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003eQUESTION: Why is no steam coming from my coffee machine?\u003cbr\/\u003eANSWER: The problem could be caused by various factors. First, ensure that the steam wand is free from limescale blockages or milk deposits, then check that it reaches the correct temperature set for steam and that the tap is completely free for dispensing from the steam outlet channel. Usually, a descaling or cleaning of residues resolves 90% of the problems.\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003eMaintenance Tips and Lifespan\u003cbr\/\u003eTo extend the lifespan of your AS13200138 steam tube and prevent premature breakage, it is important to follow some simple rules. The number one enemy is milk buildup: this, when dried, creates solid plugs that are difficult to remove and promotes bacterial growth. We recommend cleaning the tube by dispensing water for 2 seconds immediately after each use and wiping it with a damp cloth. Also, perform descaling of the coffee machine every 3 months, as limescale can accumulate internally, reducing the steam passage diameter and increasing internal pressure, potentially causing breakage or completely clogging the dispensing tap.\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003eInstallation Instructions\u003cbr\/\u003eInstalling this spare part requires good manual skills and DIY ability. Before starting, ensure that the machine is turned off, unplugged, and completely cool to avoid burns. Remove the movable parts (cover, tank, drip tray, etc.), the outer covers, and the steam knob. Now look at the coffee machine from the left side (if you are facing it), generally, the tube is secured with a retaining clip to the tap group. Remove the water tube clip and unscrew the screws holding the support to the body of the machine; we recommend also purchasing a new tube seal (not provided with this spare part but available separately in our shop by searching for item 5313217701). Perform a steam dispensing test before reassembling the outer shells.\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003eNot exactly the item you are interested in?\u003cbr\/\u003eIn addition to the replacement milk frother group, we have many original Delonghi accessories and spare parts available in our store.
