My X5 mop no longer produces steam, just water! Has the heating element gone? I am not very good at these kinds of things so would appreciate any advice :)

john, I would try cleaning the mechanism with vinegar or CLR to dissolve any buildups you can't see. Rinse, fill up with fresh water and powerup. good luck
Its likely that the tube that supplies the steam to the mop is clogged. you will need to disassemble the mop part and find that tube then push a wire up there to clear it out. Then turn the unit on and keep trying to clear with wire, you may want to wear a glove in case a sudden puff of steam comes out. This problem is common it happens because when you evaporate the water, any dissolved solids drop out onto surfaces inside the unit and make the clogs. The 'Motor' is real hot because the unit is making steam but it can't get out!
Just a guess, but I think you have hard water problems. Pour some vinegar into the mop, heat it, allow to cool, pour it out, rinse, repeat. Afterwards, use distilled water if available, otherwise, after every 5 - 10 uses, use the vinegar to remove the minerals from the heating elements. Let us know if this works!

Hi, The heating element has gone bad.... 2 years is a long time for one of those things... from the volume of questions here many do not last nearly that long... Here is a tip that I wrote about the Euro-Pro Shark Steam Mop and why it may not be getting steam to the head...

Hi,
The heating element may have died or there is an obstruction...
