Miele Steam Oven Descale Warning Won't Clear
Steam Oven Descale Warning Won't Clear is usually one of a small number of specific, repairable causes — here's what to check and when it's worth calling a professional.
Common Causes
Mineral scale buildup
Hard water leaves mineral deposits in the water lines and steam generator that reduce performance over time.
A failed water level sensor
Can prevent the unit from generating steam even with a full reservoir.
A clogged water inlet or line
Restricts the water supply the steam system needs to function.
Local conditions that matter here
Boiling point here is closer to 202°F than 212°F, which changes how anything that steams or boils behaves. A steam cycle that never seems to finish is often altitude rather than fault.
