Answer:

What would cause an E74 error to occur?

In knob control models, there are two possible causes:

  • No descaling solution added. The appliance detected only water and does not start the descaling process.
  • Error in the descaling solution measurement level, possibly due to the formation of foam. This can be caused by using an unsuitable descaling agent.

Is foam supposed to be produced during the descaling the process?

No, foam production is not officially part of the descaling process.

  • During the descaling process, the unit heats up the descaling agent because higher temperatures help remove buildup.
  • During the heat-up phase, some descaling products can produce foam.
  • Durgol Swiss Steamer, the recommended descaling agent for the CSO, does not produce foam.

Is there a detection method in the unit that senses when descaling solution has been added?

Yes, there is a phase of the descaling process that detects whether descaling solution has been added.

  • If the unit does not detect the descaling agent, E74 error appears, and the descaling process stops.
  • If the unit detects the descaling agent, it carries on with the heat-up phase.
