Hi,

Here is a tip that will help you to troubleshoot your iron and figure out what is wrong with it.

Generally, the lights on the right flash until the desired temperature is reached. When they stop flashing it means the iron has heated to the temp. that you selected. I'm having trouble with mine now, also, so I can't diagnose.

My Tefal Program 8 400 iron will not heat up. Light is on but nothing coming through. I has used it 10 mins before this happened

try opening the iron and see if the wires are connected to the thermostat/heating element, if not you can easily tie them again, it sometimes happens when the thermostat fails to open the circuit and the heating elements over heat and causes a break in the line or heating element.

buy a new one

hello mam
please change the thermostat of the iron and also check the heating element.

Does not seam to "light up" ?
Light goes on ??

Not heating - but the light on ??
If so - the heating element has failed..

Time for a new one I am afraid ;o(

heating elements is out then have change the parts

oliso iron turns on when plugged in green light flashes but iron will not heat up
