Solutions

1. Did you turn the multivalve position to Vent after the cycle completed. Mostly you did not turn the valve to vent, so the water inside the chamber could not go back to reservoir.

If you did turn the multivalve to Vent position, then mostly the multivalve is out of work.

Depends on which year this machine built, there are 2 different multivalves: One on the left side, one on the right side.

Even this multivalve does not work properly, the water should not come out immediately. Did you see any steam coming out of the air jet during the sterilizing period? It would consume some water inside the chamber. If you did not see any steam out of the air jet (I think so), then you need to replace the air jet too.
