Euro-Pro EP1010 Iron Questions & Answers
How do you open the back plate to access the power connection. On a shark model G1568 iron??
We have a Euro Pro GI472, which kept going off and on, and the problem seemed to be an intermittent connection in the power circuit. If we "fiddled" with the cord, the power light would go off and on. To get the back off, I removed the two screws below the rubber feet, near the identification tag. Then I had to pop the red plastic light lens off the top of the iron. The lens is held by two plastic "claws" one at the top and at the bottom of the lens. Once the lens is out, there is a small Phillips-head screw visible between two light sources. I removed the screw, and that freed the cover, and made it possible to access the wiring. Testing continuity from the wall plug to the two wires inside the iron, and flexing the cord, quickly led to a spot in the cord that was slightly kinked, and that was the location of the fault. Both wires under the insulation were broken. In fact there were small balls of melted copper near the breaks. Then it is a matter of making sure you know which wire of the power cord goes to which spot in the iron (a photo or a sketch will save mistakes when reassembling) cutting out the faulty wire, getting a suitable crimp connector and a wire nut and rewiring the iron.
I love my iron ! How I can use in Israel?
The voltage in Israel is 220 volts. Check the information plate on your iron to see if it will operate on 220 volts. If it will, then you will only need an adapter from the two round pins to a two slot receptacle that you can plug your iron into. If your iron will not use 220 volts then you will need a 220/120 volt transformer with a 1 and one half times larger wattage rating on it than watt rating on your iron. Our iron is 1200 watts. We would need a 2000 watt transformer. On Amazon they cost eighty nine dollars and weigh 29 pounds. And they ship them overseas. Best of Luck

I have a Shark iron model number g1579 an it
1.Turn the temperature dial to a setting compatible with the garment being ironed. Set the iron on its heel upright, and allow the iron to fully heat for two minutes prior to ironing.
2.Hold the iron in a horizontal position and begin to iron the garment. When the iron is turned to a horizontal position, it will automatically produce steam. Turn the steam dial to a setting to produce the desired amount of steam for the garment being ironed.
3.Press the water spray button to shoot a jet of water on the garment to help remove stubborn wrinkles. To produce extra steam when using the steam iron, press the burst-of-steam button to release an extra shot of steam during ironing.
4.Hold the iron in a vertical position to stop producing steam. For vertical steaming from the iron, use the burst-of-steam function.
Using the Burst-of-Steam Feature
1.Place the iron upright on its heel. Preheat the iron for two minutes at the maximum heat setting.
2.Place the garment on a hanger away from other garments, and away from people.
3.Hold the iron about 2 inches from the fabric being steamed, and press the burst-of-steam button, pointing directly to the wrinkles. Steam will exit from the soleplate. Wave or move the steam iron over the garment in areas needing ironing while pressing the burst-of-steam button.
4.Stop the steaming by resting the iron in a vertical position on its heel.
Iron doesnot get hot onlyplatform
Try to open the electric iron and locate the thermostat . Secure the electric iron against any metal object that may cause electric shock or short circuit and plug it to a power source. Slowly adjust the temperature and using an electric tester check the power before the thermostat and after the thermostat. If there is a power before the thermostat and has no power after the thermostat then your problem is the thermostat replace it with a new one.

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.
I have an older model
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.
Fire came out of cord conecting to iron got a
The cord has an internal break and it made contact and burned through the insulation, your arm happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Have the cord replaced before you use the iron again. If you happen to touch that bare spot on the cord you could be electrocuted.

The iron was dropped which resulted in the Steam
Hi Fred,
The euro-pro irons are designed to be tossed when they break. That said, you may be able to disassemble the handle by gently prying with a piece of thin metal, a feeler gauge works for this application. Feeler gauges are available in any hardware store. The plastic parts are snapped together at the factory. There is no service center for these irons.
I would begin with a pair of pliers and try to gently reseat the dislodged buttons.
