Steam Tip

My steam tip does not want to come off. None of my other machines ever had issues. I was able to loosen it by hand. I have used a wrench on this one and it does not want to move at all. Has anyone had this issue before?

Get it really hot with a good 1 minute long shot of steam. Then use the wrench (with a rag to hold it on top). It will come off.
Once off, just tighten back with fingers (nothing more).

Cool, so this procedure has been needed before?

That did the trick. I had put a wrench on it before, but was not sure how hard I needed to torque on it. I heated up the tip as recommended and got it to come off.
Thanks again.
