Temperature Knob is setted to cold, rise the temperature and the drops will stop. Steam will come out instead

Hello,

There is probably a disconnection inside the iron that's why it won't light up. Usually, when the heating element get's defective, the won't heat.

If the iron has a three pin socket/plug, open the plug and check if the fuse is intact. If the fuse is intact, then it means you will have to disassemble the iron.

Check all the wire connection inside the iron, observe if you will find any disconnection of any kind. There are not much wire inside the iron, so I believe this shouldn't be difficult.

Have the iron checked by disassembling it.

I hope you understand the above......

Good luck.

Try putting a solution of white vinegar and water, 50/50.

Possible that the power cord is faulty if there is no indication at the iron. use a multimeter to check the continuity from the plug to the iron heating coil element.
it is possible that the coil has opened or the thermostat is defective.

leake water from euro steam iron model 4488?

Pat, it probably has a calcium scale buildup from lack of use. Try filling the reservoir with a 50/50 solution of White Vinegar and Water and let it set over night (at east 24 hours). Then turn the iron on to the steam setting and see what happens. If it doesn't produce steam, turn the iron OFF, let it cool and soak for an additional 8 hours. After that, turn it ON, set the steam setting and hopefully it will have unclogged. If hasn't after 32 hours, I don't think it will. Also, you can try cleaning the steam jets on the iron's surface, with a firm tooth brush and the vinegar/water solution.

Hope this helps. Please let me know.

Hi, i think you are experiencing a faulty thermostat which is gradually failing to regulate the heat produced by the element in the iron beyond a certain level as you have said. Or it may also be as a result of the contact to the element at the base of the iron are broken which makes the high setting inaccessible...
Let an electrical technician check it out....

Hi,

There is most likely a small port where some particles have clogged.fill reservoir with vinegar and water (50/50) and allow to soak 24 hrs, then reheat then shake vigorously to drain then rinse then retry.
check solenoid steam valve which is fitted on the steam tank output pipe.

Thank you for using fixya have a nice day:-)

When bases become slippery it is usually due to a couple of things. Either the unit has been used for so long that it has lost friction which could be a dangerous situation and the other being due to dirt and poor maintenance. If the first happens to be the case then the base needs to be replaced but if on the other hand it is due to maintenance then simply unplug the unit and wash the surface with the use of a wet piece of cloth and soap but ensure the liquid quantity is limited.
Being that you really like the iron if you can get a replacement base would be a lot better because it would just ensure that the iron lasts longer. You can always get iron rests from your local hardware store.
Hope this solution has been helpful?

Take it back! Any attempt to fix or adjust the iron will void the warranty - 50 bucks is a lot of money.

Hi,

The steam hose of the iron is kinked and broken inside.You have to replace a new one.So it will limit the amount of steam flow.

Please do rate the solution if the issue is resolved or post a comment for further assistance.
