Hi my Bosch steam iron is tripping my electric when I turn it on its brand-new anyone no what problem is ?

    If your Bosch Sensixx B35L trips your consumer unit miniture circuit breaker (MCB) it could be, like mine, that there is limescale build-up on the insulator between the "live" wire into the steam generator heater and the casing, thus allowing sufficient electric electric current to pass between the two to trip the MCB. Cleaning the limescale has resolved my problem and took me 10 minutes to fix. Obviously use a competent repair person to do the work.

SOURCE: Iron causing electrical fuse to trip

I would almost definitely say yes. Have a friend or family member bring their iron over and try it. I can think of no other reason why it would trip a breaker. Let me know what happens.

SOURCE: euro-pro EP1005 iron--iron heats -blower works-but no steam

You may not need a new iron, my wife's iron is doing the same thing. take the top of the ironing board off (you will need a torx t-20 security bit driver), under the tank is a connection that may have rusted out re-connet it and turn the iron on. Once it heats up, check the tank for leaks. The tank may need to be replace as well or try a 5-minute epoxy type glue on the leaks once it has cooled. If the tank leaks you will get not get enlugh pressure building up to get the steam.

SOURCE: I have a Bosch Steam

Your steam generator my have mineral deposits that are clogging the steam openings. One of the easiest things to do is to pour out the water and add white vinegar. Let the vinegar sit for about 2 hours. Then turn on the iron and press the steam button until the deposits are loosened and flushed by the heat and steaming vinegar. Do this on a towel or other absorbent fabric so you don't stain your ironing board. You may need to unplug the iron, let it cool and then gently **** the steam vents with a wooden skewer or toothpick.
I hope this helps you. If it does, please rate my suggestion!

SOURCE: Bosch Sensixx B25L

see the instruction from your manual:
Check the owner's manual for your iron to learn the manufacturer's suggestions for cleaning, what water to use, and storage tips.
Soft-water systems add minerals that can harm an electric steam iron and your clothes so don't fill the iron with softened water. Instead, use filtered or distilled water.
2) if the iron does not heat a( test the power cord for open or defective b) and thermostat for adjust c) test the thermal fuse d) test the heating element for open.
God bless you

I have a bosch vario comfort series 8 iron and steam release button pushed up inside it and it broke - can this be repaired

It would be more cheaper and easier just to buy a new clothing iron than to try and fix the steam release button on your iron.

Hi guys. I have a Hoover ironspeed IS21-1 steam generator iron. I love this iron it's the best steam generator I've ever had but now once it's heated up and I go to use it as soon as I press the button...

Try unplugging everything that is using that circuit because it's possible that you have too many items plugged up. Also try other outlet.

Hi Ihave a Bosch B25L steam generator iron and it has stopped steaming completely. Any ideas?

Yousaf/Tony, Either the switch is defective or the heat element has gone bad, probably not cost effective to repair.

Is my steam iron broke?

Get a new one. If it drew enough power to trip off your electricity then there is a problem that is not worth taking a chance on.

I have a Bosch b52l iron, when i turn on the steam button, it cuts off the power, what could it be

It could be the iron itself (it may have a short circuit in it) and the circuit breaker trips when the steam switch is turned on.

Option 1)
Another option is that the entire circuit that that circuit breaker is controlling is overloaded. What other outlets / applicances / lights are disabled when that circuit breaker trips? You may have to iron only when those other applicances on that circuit are not being used.

Option 2a) Your outlet may be damaged and causing your circuit breaker to trip when the high current STEAM setting is set.
- OR -
Option 2b) the circuit breaker is damaged and is tripping too easily. Only replace with a similarly sized circuit breaker (15 amp lis likely but is says right on the breaker).

Try the solutions in that order.

Steam iron trips the main fuse

It could be your iron drawing too much current but it sounds more likely that you have a weak circuit breaker on that circuit. You might try the iron on a different house circuit to confirm if its actually the iron or the house breaker giving you problems.

The ps 300 will not heat although the on light is on

I bought one of these units at a Salvation Army Store still in the box brand new. I experienced the same problems (power was lit, but the breaker would trip and turn unit off). I opened the unit up and since I have knowledge of circuits, I bypassed the breaker (trips when it reaches a predetermined temp). I did however add a CRUCIAL electrical component that makes this possible an keeps your house from burning down - a added a simple dial thermostat (like one from a single electric plug-in coil stove top). Bottom line, I took on this project moreless for fun and I would NOT RECOMMEND anyone try this unless you have some knowledge about electrical circuits.
