20 Most Recent Rowenta Professional DM890 Iron with Auto Shut-off Questions & Answers

Inside the iron is a piece of thermal metal the is supposed to make contact with a small ceramic pin with a metal cap on it. I think this was intended to be a safety device but they fail and the iron will not heat up. The part does not seem to be available so easiest way to fix is to put a small bead of glue on the housing that forces this to make contact.

see the video and use the common sense and fix it. God bless you

mains wire connections wrong or thermostat problem. thank you.

This is a classic thermostat problem and the sound you hear is the thermostat cycling on & off, because it has gone faulty. You need to repair or replace. If you can find an appliance repair center it is not an expensive repair, however always et a "Quote" before proceeding with any repair.

Irons use a potentiometer and thermister to control the heat on the element. One of these components is bad and needs replacing. If the iron's still under warranty, get another one. The cost of service would probably be as much as a new iron, but you could call an appliance repair shop to check.

There should be contact information with the instruction booklet so you can contact Rowenta for repairs.

it needs cleaning to get rid of the gunge caused by hard water

needs cleaned. fill full of CLR let set a half an hour dump and rinse run clear water several times to clear out the CLR.

Take your iron to a hardware store and they should be able to guide you to the tool that you will need.

if its a light brown appering on the whites, its just to hot, lower setting. also make sure the plate is clean. the stainless changes colour from heat after a while, this is normal

Sounds like the tube ot tank is ruptured. It may be cheaper to buy a new one from wallmart or similar store.

what you want to do with the Iron?

I would use some scraps of fabric and transfers to do some trial and error experimenting.

Keep in mind that the iron will not produce steam until the internal temperature is 212 degrees farenheit.

good luck with this.
