The burst of steam doesn't work and it spits
Chances are that the steam orifice is plugged. The first thing I would try is to run an iron cleaner solution through the iron followed by distilled water. Fill the water reservoir with 1/2 cup of cleaner, turn on the iron, try sprayer to clear the blockage. You may have to repeat this the changing of the cleaner a number of times. This should also clear the spitting problem. If you do not have access to an iron cleaner, try using a half cup of clear vinegar (straing the vinegar throught a paper coffee filter before using.
Let me know if this clears the problem. Thanks.

You need to get a iron cleaning product to clean your machine. In the future, use ONLY distilled water in your Iron. Distilled water has been turned into steam (leaving all the minerals in the boiler) and that steam condensed back into water so it is absolutely free of minerals (that is what is coming out of your Iron).
Sum up: Clean it using a product designed to clean steam irons. Don't use tap or bottled water - ONLY distilled water.
Get the distilled water at your super market or auto parts store. Get the Iron cleaner where appliances are sold or at your local hardware store. You may have to ask for it.
Thanks for your question.

Hi, you need to check that power is getting to the heating element. For the power to get to the heating elements of the iron it needs to go through the power switch and the thermostat. On some irons the power switch will be included in the iron thermostat and on others the on/off switch will be a separate switch. In either case you will need to make sure that there is continuity, or the ability for the power to flow through the switch and thermostat to get to the heating part of the iron. The thermostat is just an on/off switch that works on the temperature of the base of the iron. So whenever the iron is cold the thermostat should be closed, allowing the power to flow through it.
If power is getting to the heating element of the iron, then it should get hot. If it is not, then the heating part has failed. Sometimes, when this happens it will short out and cause the fuse to blow or the circuit breaker to trip. Many times though, the element will just simply burn out or break so that the circuit is open and the electricity cannot flow through to make the element produce heat.

Hi,
For some reason it seems that the seam between the iron tank and the sole plate comes apart....while it may be technically repairable... realistically it is not....you are better off to get another iron...

Hi,
Unfortunately there is not much you can do...it could maybe be soldered but that would be exspense and a long shot...
You probably have no options other then tossing that one and buying a new one...

No heat
you will need to replace the "printed-circuit" board inside the unit that has the line cord/p.c. board and the connections to the heating element,these go out very often in these irons
