What causes an EGR cooler to stop working?

Common causes of EGR failure are soot contamination, blockage due to carbon deposits, damage caused by constant vibration, or corrosion.
What should I use to clean the EGR cooler?

What happens to the coolant when the EGR valve is closed?
Cooled when the coolant flow removes heat and the EGR valve is closed, and then heated and stressed as hot exhaust gases pass through. Each time it heats up, the metal inside the cooler grows and strains against the restraints of the unyielding metal shell, causing stress and strain.
What causes steam to come out of an EGR cooler?
Usually, the first sign of failure is white exhaust smoke. This “smoke” is actually steam from boiling water or coolant. There are several possible sources for this steam, including head gasket failure, a cracked EGR cooler or condensation inside the exhaust system.
What’s the best way to clean an EGR cooler?
