Hi,
If the iron is a steam-iron with a steam tank in the base-unit, then steam is carried up the connecting pipe & it will get hot in normal use.
If you put water into the iron itself, then there is only an electric cable connecting the base & it should never, ever get hot. A little bit warm maybe, but never hot.
Best of luck.

You will need to obtain a completely new power cord kit from the manufacturer. If you are not familiar with doing electrical repairs, you may want to have a technician do it. Insulation on the power cord is important for several reasons; especially a method to keep you safe from a fire, electrical burn, shock, etc.

see this causes and fix it. God bless you

If the iron heats but steams improperly, inspect the soleplate and clean the vents (see below) and flush sediment out of the steam chamber .

If the iron produces too much or too little heat, test the electrical cord . Also test and, if needed, adjust calibration of the thermostat .

If the iron does not spray properly, inspect and clean the nozzle.

If the iron leaks or spits, clean the steam vents, nozzle, and tank.

If the iron sticks to fabric, clean or repair the soleplate. If the iron stains fabric, clean the soleplate, clean the tank with a commercial cleaner, and use distilled or filtered water.

hi! Long time listner, first time caller.

Iron not steaming AT ALL.

I have a tefal gv 7096

It turned on, all lights working and i can hear it heating up and when opening the calcium deposit i can see steam.

When i pressed the button - nothing. The iron it's self is hot (the plate) the lights on and but no steam.

The cord connecting the iron to the steam was also cold, so i could tell no steam was getting to the iron at all.

I wasn't sure if it was the button not working or something clogging the cord to the iron.

I did the vinegar thing. Let it sit for sometime (40 mins) and still nothing.
I did a weird thing of very carefully putting water on the plate while hot and it created steam from the plate. i think some backflowed and it started steaming, within seconds. might have happened with a bit more time anyway, but it def helped. All wokring fine now :)

Yes, if your electric cord was extremely hot to touch is not common. It's posing danger to your unit and to your entire electrical system that may cause fire. Please let a qualified electrician inspect and repair your unit. The unit thermal fuse may not functioning that automatically switch off or cut the electric power of your unit when it gets too hot. Thank you for asking.
