Check the cappuccinotore valve, disassemble and clean out the small hole for the milk passage, that may be blocked with milkstone.

Frothing jug
For milk frothing issues, soak the milk jug cover in hot water and rinse
several times. If it has a froth control that can be removed by sliding
in the direction of travel towards the edge whilst jiggling it gently
up and down. Clean off the little o-ring with a toothpick, be gentle.
The control should easily slide and click back in place when done.
Froth still no good? Examine the milk coupling to ensure the o-rings are
in the right spot and are pliable and undamaged. There should be an
o-ring (usually green) on the top spigot, a (black) o-ring at the front
of the bottom spigot and a (red) oring at the rear. The groove halfway
along the spigot should be clear. Now with the toothpick and a hot moist
cloth clean all the crud from the milk coupling, especially inside the
smaller spigot. Check the tiny hole at the back of the larger spigot is
not blocked.
Check the flow from the hot water spout is good. If not, there are
internal issues, try descaling. If it is, test the frothing jug, if it
is still weak either the jug cover or the milk coupling needs to be
replaced. Get them to try a known good test jug at your local coffee
service center to find out which, most will be happy to do this at the
counter.

From the question I understand that the steam jet is rushing into the cup but it is not able to draw milk. The jet of steam sucks the milk from the container (within a reasonable distance from the frother). With proper air mix from the air inlet in the frother, it generates foam. Suction of milk is enough when the milk tube connection at the frother end is airtight. Air sucked into the frother with milk (due to loose connection) reduces the suction of milk. Please try the following:
1- Make sure the connection of the frother to the steam outlet is airtight. Air sucked in at this connection also reduces the suction of milk from the milk container.
2- Make sure the tube drawing milk from milk container to the frother is airtight.
An extra suggestion to a related matter: Many operators feel that the steamed milk is not hot. This happens when the flow of milk id more than the steam can heat. Reduce the flow of milk for hotter foamed milk.
First slightly pinch the tube between finger and thumb to reduce milk flow. If that results in a better temperature of milk filling the cup, then you need to find a flow constrictor device.
The flow constrictor is a simple bushing with a hole through it to allow milk tube to pass through. There a screw (metal or plastic) threaded through its wall that can be tightened to pinch the milk tube and reduce the milk flow .
Please check the following link for the flow reducing device:

Good luck. Please post the result if the above worked.

First make sure you have the tube seated all the way in, the one inside the milk jug. I had assisted with the same problem before and the owner did not put the tube back in after cleaning the milk container. Next add a little Petrol-Gel Food Grade Sanitary Lubricant to the O-Rings, should have two (a small black one and an orange one) on the machine that the milk container connects to. This will assist in creating a better seal. If either are missing then you found the issue. The O-Rings are critical to any pressure system, so keep them clean and lubricated. You can get Petrol-Gel at a restaurant wholesaler or Amazon.
