The steam is coming out but no pressure when I press the button for the steam to jet out
If you're experiencing an issue where steam is coming out but there's no pressure when you press the button for the steam to jet out, there could be a few possible causes:
- Water level: Check the water level in the steam generator or steam-producing device. If the water level is too low, it can result in insufficient steam pressure. Make sure there is enough water in the device according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Clogged steam vents: Over time, mineral deposits or debris can accumulate in the steam vents, obstructing the flow of steam. This can prevent the steam from building up pressure. Clean the steam vents thoroughly by following the manufacturer's instructions to ensure proper steam flow.
- Faulty heating element: The heating element is responsible for generating steam. If it is malfunctioning or damaged, it may not produce enough heat to generate adequate pressure. In this case, you may need to have the heating element inspected or replaced by a professional.
- Malfunctioning steam generator: If you're using a steam generator, it's possible that there is an issue with the device itself. Check for any error codes or warning indicators and consult the manufacturer's troubleshooting guide. If the problem persists, contact the manufacturer or a qualified technician for assistance.
- Incorrect settings: Ensure that you have selected the appropriate steam settings

Why is there steam coming out of the bottom of the generator when I press steam button???
No one is able to answer this Dawn and Julia, because no one mentions what 'make and model' you have!
Julia post your own question as a new question.
'make model (what it is)' as the first three words. And then the question with as much details as you can.
In all likelihood you have a split seam or a defective valve.

Why wont my oliso iron lift up and down i just got it and is the second time using it?
If your Oliso iron is not lifting up and down properly, there could be a few possible causes:
- The steam function may be on: If the steam function is on, it can prevent the iron from lifting up and down. Make sure the steam function is turned off before attempting to lift the iron.
- The iron may be in "locked" mode: Some Oliso irons have a locking mechanism that keeps the iron in place during storage. If the iron is in locked mode, it will not lift up and down. Look for a switch or button on the iron that releases the lock and allows the iron to move freely.
- There may be debris or a loose object inside the iron: Sometimes, debris or a loose object can get stuck inside the iron and prevent it from lifting up and down. Try shaking the iron gently or turning it upside down to see if anything falls out.
- The iron may be defective: If none of the above solutions work, it's possible that the iron is defective and needs to be replaced. Contact the manufacturer or retailer where you purchased the iron for assistance with a possible refund or exchange.
In any case, it's important to unplug the iron and wait for it to cool down completely before attempting to troubleshoot or repair it.

What direction do I turn the button to open the Rowenta Superpress 050? I have read that I need to push in the button but it was donated to me and I need to fill up the reservoir.
To open the Rowenta Superpress 050 iron, you should first unplug the iron from the power source for safety. Then, locate the water reservoir button on the top of the iron. The button is usually located near the back of the iron.
To open the reservoir, you need to push the button inward and turn it counter-clockwise. This will release the reservoir from the iron's body, allowing you to fill it with water.
After filling the reservoir with water, you can reattach it to the iron by aligning it with the body and turning the button clockwise until it clicks into place.
Remember to never fill the reservoir above the maximum fill line, as this can cause the iron to leak water or even cause damage to the iron.

My steam generator Phillips Perfect Care stop working.
Based on the issues you have described with your Phillips Perfect Care steam generator, it is possible that there may be multiple problems with the unit. It is difficult to say whether it is worth repairing without knowing the full extent of the damage and the cost of repair.
The leaking water and green and blue lights could indicate a problem with the water tank or the steam generator unit itself. The fact that the electricity went off when you tried to clean it with descaler could indicate a problem with the electrical system. The whistling noise and lack of lights when you plug it in could indicate a problem with the power supply.
If the cost of repairing the steam generator is significantly less than the cost of a new one and you have been satisfied with its performance in the past, then it may be worth repairing. However, if the cost of repair is close to or more than the cost of a new steam generator, it may be more cost-effective to purchase a new one.
Ultimately, the decision to repair or replace your steam generator will depend on the severity of the damage and the cost of repair. It may be helpful to consult with a qualified technician to determine the best course of action.

Circuit diagram for ESP2 singer steam press
I do not have access to specific circuit diagrams for the ESP2 Singer Steam Press. However, I can provide some general information that may be helpful.
The ESP2 Singer Steam Press operates by using an electric heating element to heat a water reservoir, which produces steam to press clothes and fabrics. The electrical circuitry of the steam press includes a power switch, heating element, thermostat, thermal fuse, and indicator lights.
The power switch controls the flow of electricity to the steam press, allowing the user to turn it on and off. The heating element heats up the water in the reservoir, producing steam that is released through a pressing plate. The thermostat controls the temperature of the heating element, ensuring that the water is heated to the desired temperature. The thermal fuse acts as a safety device, preventing the steam press from overheating and potentially causing a fire. Finally, the indicator lights inform the user of the steam press's current operating status, such as whether it is heating up or ready to use.
If you're experiencing issues with your ESP2 Singer Steam Press, it's recommended that you consult the user manual or contact a qualified technician for assistance. Modifying or repairing electrical equipment without proper knowledge or training can be dangerous and may cause injury or damage to the equipment.

The temperature control dial of my Bosch Sensixx x DA30 iron has become very stiff to rotate. How to make it easier to turn?
If the temperature control dial of your Bosch Sensixx x DA30 iron has become stiff, you can try the following steps to make it easier to turn:
- Unplug the iron and let it cool down completely.
- Using a soft cloth or sponge, clean the dial and the surrounding area to remove any dust or debris.
- Apply a small amount of WD-40 or silicone spray lubricant to the temperature control dial.
- Slowly turn the dial back and forth a few times to distribute the lubricant and loosen up any dirt or debris that may have been causing the stiffness.
- Wipe away any excess lubricant with a clean, dry cloth.
- Plug in the iron and turn it on to make sure the temperature control dial is turning smoothly.
If the stiffness persists or the temperature control dial is still not turning smoothly, you may need to take your iron to a professional for repair or replacement of the dial.
