After 2 days turned off I attempted to steam some milk with the steamer. The machine was making it's steam generation noise, but no steam was coming out and then there was a sudden & very loud bang. It now emits steam from inside the machine when attempting to steam. I suspect that the bang was a pipe blowing off inside the machine?
Yes. The machine has indeed bursted a pipe. Contact the company from where you bought the machine for warranty or repair solutions. Its strongly advised against trying to repair the machine yourself.

Try opening the frothing valve by turning the dial and force water through it instead of steam by pressing the middle, coffee button. You may be experiencing vapor lock. Once the water comes through the steamer valve, turn the steamer knob off and release the coffee button. Then try the steamer button with the steamer dial open. This may do the trick.
SOURCE: Hi, we have a Krups
suggestions include very cold milk. having the nozzle just barely in for frothing.
On my model there's an air passage in the nozzle that foams quite nicely. If you have that too, it might be clogged with milk. You have to keep these clean with every use.

Pull off entire plastic wand off by unscrewing the top plastic piece. Inside the piece that connects to the screw top you should see two o-ring type spacers. The top one should be hard pastic and the one beneath should be rubber. Take the entire unit apart and clean, making sure to put all pieces back in the way they came out.
To put back on, take the top piece and put it back on the metal stem first then put the rest of the wand back on and gently push it as far up the metal stem as possible and screw back together. If you don't have the rubber spacer this could be the problem since the wand really has nothing grabbing onto the metal stem except for the rubber spacer. If this doesn't work, order another wand:

Several possibilities for noise. check concrete balance wieghts at top and bottom of washer, make sure they are not loose.
Check drum restraint spring(s) are not broken.
Check suspension legs for wear.
Check for loose motor fixings.
Finally, remove drum belt, and spin drum by hand, tjhere should be noise from bearings, if it feels rough or is rumbling , then main bearings have failed.
Please rate my comments.
Thanks.
