How to replace the power cord on a Sunbeam 4065-000 steam iron?

Sunbeam Model: gcsbcs-212
The outlet cord was bad (pinched from falling off the ironing board) inside where the cord goes into the iron.
1. Remove Bottom Sticker
2.Remove 2 Screws
3. Pry off Sunbeam Back Cover
4. Remove 2 screws
5. Pry off Cover
6. Remove Cord Clip (2 Scews)
7. Cut Cord and Strip off ends ( do I cable at a time) Red Circle
8. Crimp back and Test.

EBay or alibaba.com

If the GCSBBV-200 is similar to other Sunbeam steam irons, fill the iron when it is cool and unplugged. With the ironing surface flat on the sole plate, set the Steam dial to dry and the Fabric Select dial to Min. Then use an easy-pour measuring cup to pour water into the opening at the top front of the iron. Make sure not to fill past the maximum fill level. (Tip the iron up as if you were resting it between passes with the iron to check the level.)

I hope this helps.

Run a tank of 50/50 water and white vinegar through the steam cycly. Run two or three more tanks of plain water. This should clean it out safely.

I have had the same issue with both of these irons. I bought them both thinking they would be a "better" iron with more steam and have not been happy within the first year of owning them. Thanks for the tips.

I bought a new replacement iron at Sears for $17.99. It is not worth fixing my old one .

Hi there,

POSSIBLE CAUSES:

1. Blown fuse 
2. Broken thermostat
3. Broken power cords
4. Broken heating elements

first of all check FUSE.
good luck...
