The handle of my Philips Garment Steamer vibrates or produces a pumping sound

Published on 18 April 2023
Find here possible causes and solutions when you notice a vibration or pumping sound from the handle of your Philips Garment Steamer.

Water is being pumped to the steamer head

When you are using your handheld steamer, water is pumped to the steamer's head to be converted into steam, and this produces a noise and vibration. This is normal.

Running out of water

If the pumping sound becomes significantly loud, it might be that the water tank is running out of water. Please check the water tank and refill accordingly.
