The iron is 1 1/2 years old. It worked great until last week. While I was ironing I needed to add more water. After it was added the iron would not get hot enough to make steam or get wrinkles out but too hot to leave my finger on it. Also the light was off. If I turned the temperature dial I would hear a tink noise as if it was turning on or off but it would not affect the irons performance. I tried leaving it unplugged for a few hours - same results - little hot to touch. I tried it the next day. Now it did not do anything. However, my husband plugged it in and it worked great, but I had no time to iron so I turned it off. Next time again nothing. (yes, each time in a live circuit.)
MY BLACK & DECKER D2030 WILL NOT POWER ON ? IS IT THE THERMAL FUSE? AND WHERE IS IT LOCATED IN THE IRON ITSELF ? AND WHAT DOES THE PART LOOK LIKE ?
Perhaps the thermostat is sticking.as irons are cheap to replace i would try cleaning /soaking the tank to remove lime scale. or strip the iron down checking thermostat and conections.

you can mix 50% water with 50% vinager let it set in the iron overnight then turn it on and let the steam run out.What happens is the inside of the iron where the water is had corroded or rusted or has lime deposits.the vinager will break this loose overnight.also after you let the iron steam out all the mixture,flush the iron 4 to 5 times and start using fresh water from a store bought gallon.your tap water is probably full of iron.

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

Time for a new iron. I last one went to the iron graveyard and I then spent $150.00 on the top of the range Phillips with the gold plate. Has cut my ironing down to a 1/4 of the time. Well worth it

If you are having steam problems then the cartridge needs changing.
I phoned them (0161 652 1211) and they do sell the cartridge for £5.99 including delivery but are out of stock for a couple of weeks. You have to send them a cheque or postal orders. Good luck.
Send Cheque for £5.99 for each cartridge with note of model etc.
