This iron does not get heavy use - we are retired and only iron sheets, blouses and shirts. Unfortunately I discovered this when ironing an expensive shirt and it snagged a couple of threads. Can this be repaired?
Get some very fine wet and dry sandpaper (1200 grit) and carefully smooth the surface.
SOURCE: Water drips out of steam holes
I suspect that by placing it on its heel rest the water from the tank is not allowed to enter into the steam chamber and when you go into ironing mode there is a rush of water that is cooling down the sole plate to below steaming temperature. Try keeping it in the horizontal position on a heat proof pad and press the steam button just before going into ironing mode.
SOURCE: irons will not heat properly
This may sound weird, but try them at someone else's house, it could be possible that your wiring is not allowing them the amperage they need to heat properly.
SOURCE: No steam
It appears that your rocker switch is broken, I am attempting to find a source for the switch and the screw driver that removes the screws holding the unit together
SOURCE: Cleaning Ironing Steam Press
Most heating plates on steam presses are teflon coated. I have used 409 to rub rust and other stains off the telfon coated heating plates before. Try that.
Also WD-40 works well with other stains. Don't ask me why, but WD-40 cleans some stuff really well.
SOURCE: cleaning non stick iron surface
There is a product called goo-be-gone available at any hardware store in a small bottle which will remove the adhesive easily.
please mark this as a fixya! thanks
