Why is the Statim Cassette Whistling?

If you are experiencing an annoying whistle from your Statim Cassette while running a cycle, here is what you need to do to fix it.

Before proceeding, make sure the cassette seal is good and not leaking steam during the cycle, as a faulty seal can also cause it to whistle

In most cases, we have found the cause for the cassette whistling is due to a blockage (debris) inside the Cassette Venturi Plate.

Where to Find The Venturi Plate

The Venturi plate is located in the back of the bottom half of the cassette (inside the cassette) as shown in the picture below
