SOURCE: Francis francis x1, blocked steamer
I had the same problem on an X5 model, eventually we realized that you we could unscrew the entire nozzel fairly easily (not just the little steam attachment on the end). Once we'd done this, it was easy to soak the entire nozzel in hot soapy water. I then used a needle and dental floss to get the entire thing clean inside. Not very technical, but it worked for me. Worth a try if you haven't already sorted this.

Hi
If you have power its not likely the fuse. It could be the heating element or the board.
SOURCE: my francis francis x3 does not heat the water
Does the bottom light come on? The light is connected across the heating element and so if it is on the heating element is getting power. From looking at mine it looks like the bottom button for steam power bypasses the thermostat and uses the pressure switch to shut off the heating element. So if the light comes on when you press the steam switch but off when it isn't it is most likely your thermostat causing problems, if it never lights it is most likely the pressure switch. I do not claim to be an expert on the machine but from looking at mine that is what i would expect.

HI Unscrew the chrome tip from the wand. Then check the wand tube for a plug. Insert a paper clip into the wand tip to see if there is a restriction.
