Philips EP1220 Steam Wand Issue 

I had the same issue. So the wand has an inner plastic part and this part was a bit inside. I had to push it down a but with a chopstick, until the black plastic part comes out and locks itself at the edge of the steel wand. Try it out and it may work.

There is a tiny hole on the top side of the wand, after i cleaned it with a needle, it frothed the milk like a new.

Thanks Alex on your one year ago solution, it helps me solved my problem, being ask around the Philips CC but no solution until i watched this video and see the comment here. TQVM😁

Thank you for posting this this thing was way too expensive not to work for one year consistently.

Hey this fixed mine! The steam wand was up too far up on the connector. It was blocking the air intake. Good luck!

I pushed the black insert all the way out. And then pushed it so then it was slightly protruding. The frother then started frothing again. Thanks, Alex

Thank you so much for your help in the comments ❤ Indeed I needed to push down the plastic thing from the wand with the help of a chopstick and then the inner plastic part at the bottom sporuted 😊

that also helped me and fixed the issue , thank you very much Alex .

I had a similar issue but the black plastic interior piece was properly in place. My issues was that the tiny airtake hole (tiny hole on the metal part of the frother with a black circle around it) was partially blocked. Cleaning that with a bristle brush solved my frothing issue.

OMG this fixed the issue I was having with the steam being too aggressive. The damn black plastic insert wasn't forward enough in the wand. I've been searching for weeks for a fix for this mysterious issue including calling Philips (who was absolutely no help). Just like Alex mentioned below I just needed to push the plastic insert a bit more forward until the small tabs 'locked' with the outer edge of the wand. Now I feel like a complete idiot.

This is happening with mine too!! Let me know if you get an answer!!
