Black and decker Steamworks not working anymore

[gimmeagig]

Hi,
I have a B&D Steamworks wall paper steamer that seems to be plugged up. It heats up and makes all the sounds like it should be working but...no steam.
Is there a way to fix it?

Same thing happened to mines.... I tried to descale it running vinegar through it, but I lost faith in it..... You can buy it new from Crane Tools or get the Nameco Brand one....

Both I believe are the same thing as the B&D but new.....

Yep what Nate said....

If running vinegar water through it doesn't take care of it....pump is probably bad.

I have gone through one in the past 3 years that finally gave out....

Still love them, so I pick up a replacement every now and then, or again get the ones that Nate mentioned new....

a bit of truckmount descaler will do

Greatest truckmount descaler.............so what the hell is it? No mention of the brand.

I have the Namco steamer and love it. It heats up instantly. I've got 2 Wagner wallpaper steamers sitting in my garag collecting dust.

Roxie,

Put some straight vinegar in it and let it sit in the sink overnight. Turn it on and purge the vinegar through it. Its scaled up. If the pump is making noise and you have heat I would keep trying

the namco is the same or similar design as the steamworks

Oh gotcha...I thought it was one of those big wallpaper steamers.
