Hello :) I have a Rowenta iron, model DX 1600. Every time I plug it in, it makes a loud buzzing sound. When the iron heated up, the sound would stop. However, the sound is now continuous. There are also times when the iron would not heat up either. Would you happen to know what could be wrong?

SOURCE: Iron heating sporadically and sensor lights working sporadically

sounds like a loose connection in the power transfer, some piece of metal may be broken or the cord itself may be damaged in some place, you could try replacing the cord. I would just go and buy a new iron. They aren't all that expensive anymore. Good luck with whatever you decide to do. I hope you solve your problem. If you want any further help or have any other questions, please let me know, otherwise have a Good Day.

It looks like the cord has a loose connection and will need to be replace.

I just drop it a few times on the floor really hard a few times and then it gets hot again!!!

I hate to say this but I came here looking for solutions and it seems the solution is not to buy this Rowenta overpriced products.

SOURCE: My Rowenta iron will not heat up. The yellow light

Inside the iron is a piece of thermal metal the is supposed to make contact with a small ceramic pin with a metal cap on it. I think this was intended to be a safety device but they fail and the iron will not heat up. The part does not seem to be available so easiest way to fix is to put a small bead of glue on the housing that forces this to make contact.
