Hello. Braun CareStyle 5 IS5022 stopped producing steam. The relay just clicks when I press the button on the handle, but the pump doesn’t work and there is no steam. I poured the citric acid through the cleaning valve on the side, turned it on, heated up, waited. the steam was flowing properly and even pumped from the external tank periodically. I turn it on in the morning. the pump went off, a bit of steam sprayed and again empty inside, only the relay clicks, when you press the knob. Т.е., Despite the noise of the pump, the water still does not flow into the steam heater. What to do?
Good afternoon! The problem is either the pump or the valve.
Pump disassembled and in perfect condition (water has always filled from the reverse osmosis). I will try to see if it’s pumping with the pump outlet removed.

Types of steam heaters
Cleaning the steam generator depends on the steam generator. There are two types in total:
- Pump action devices. In these steam heaters, steam is ejected due to the high pressure created by the evaporation of water. Pomp steam generators are comfortable, easy to use. However, they are quite expensive and the construction is complicated. That’s why these devices can’t be cleaned by yourself. Should you have any problems, please contact your service center. And it is recommended that you take your steam generators in for a routine inspection once or twice a year.
- Self-watering units. This steam heater produces steam gradually as it evaporates. Steam generators are easy to use, and can be cleaned of limescale with improvised means. It is recommended to clean them once a month for prevention, especially if they are used constantly.
Iron brands such as Philips and Tefal, already have a function to clean the scale, so you do not have to bother with them. As for the other appliances, you have to wash them yourself. But first let’s understand why we need to clean the equipment from scale in general?

Steam irons from brands like Philips and Tefal already have a limescale removal feature, so you don’t have to bother with them. As for the rest of the devices, you have to wash them yourself. But first let’s see why we need to descale our appliances at all?
