why is the water not heating?

I'm not sure. If you have it plugged in and sitting upright, then the red light on the handle column will light up. I think I recall the directions saying something about waiting a few minutes for it to heat. If you are doing all those things & still having a problem, I'd contact the company.

Are you using hot tap water?, is the red light coming on? and make sure you turn it on to warm up. I do know using hot tap water makes a difference. Other than that I don't know....

Mine doesn't feel warm anywhere when it's working, but it does keep the water from freezing. I would putwater in it and make sure it doesn't freeze. I assume the outlet it's plugged into is operational.

In the event of a power failure it will not generate hot water. It still does require a power source.

If the light is on and the water flows through it, then it is functioning properly. You should check to see if there is no water in the glass bulb compartment.

It's possible that your water is already above the temperature that the heater is set for. Either that or it's a defective unit, like the other answer said!

my problem was no heat at all. According to Google, your problem may be related to some restriction in air flow, either at the filter (or around the filter) or the vent hose. Good luck!

It does not heat the water..you put in hot to the receptacle. I love this machine. It is easy to use, not cumbersome and does a great job!

It is normal for the water unit to be hot as the water is heated. However, my unit malfunctioned that I had 2 or 3 units eventually after warranty replacements and none were satisfactory. Have replaced with April air unit which is much superior.

Ours is working fine. Did you put in too much water? The different water levels are a bit tricky to see.

I think the heating element is the bottom, similar as electric kettle.The top of the blade (white plastic) will not touch the surface of the water when the blade is not rotating. However I guess when the blade is working, some water will splash on it.

Is this a new unit? If it is, you might consider warranty repair. If it's been in service for a while, I would look at the unit while hot water is running to see if you have plenty of flame coming from the burners. I've never had problems with the water being only warm on my unit, usually too hot.

You should began to feel the effects of the heat after 10 minutes or so. Did you fill up the water reservoir up completely. Sounds like the water may not be circulating ,or not heating up.

That is the water heating up in the reservoir. It is noticeable but shouldn't be loud.

Make sure that water is covering the heating element. As i hd a similar issue but quickly learned tht once water levels are low the steamer will shut off as a safety precaution.

There should be a thermal link (fuse) some where in it as a safety feature. It could have blown if the unit got to hot. Also look at heating element, it could have split from calcium in the water.

The heating element is in the base. There is a stainless tube running up the inside of the vessel along the side which delivers heat to the water.
