A babysitter left the iron on the board and of course it was knocked off. This apparently and not surprisingly broke the reservoir. Is this possible to replace? I'd like to do so. Thanks for the input. Googling isn't very successful at finding pages about broken reservoirs and replacement parts and reinstalling such.
With appreciation...

Hi,
I can tell you the stem rod for the steam control is choke or faulty. These prevent the water going onto the sole plate that why no steam.You've to send for servicing at your nearest repair shop or agent.

SOURCE: how to clean brown water coming out of iron
The reservoir of your iron needs cleaning if it looks as though small deposits are being left in the small holes on the soleplate. Typically, the deposits are minerals from the water that you are using in the reservoir. The deposits may have a white color, and they may resemble salt.
Cleaning the reservoir requires the use of white vinegar and a clean rag. Fill the reservoir of a cold iron at least one fourth of the way with white vinegar. Turn the iron on and place it on the steam setting. Steam iron the clean rag until the reservoir is completely empty.
If the deposits are still visible to you, you will need to fill the reservoir with clean water and steam iron a rag again. If the deposits are still visible to you after this, you will need to repeat the process with vinegar until the deposits are no longer apparent.
Rinse the reservoir thoroughly with clean water by filling it completely and then emptying it completely. In order to avoid mineral buildup and deposits, use only distilled or purified water in the reservoir. If you continue to use tap water, simply remember to clean the reservoir periodically.
Vinegar has a strong smell associated with it, especially when it is heated. Ventilate the area where you are working as much as possible, by opening windows, turning on vents or fans, or keeping the door open.
The water you use to fill your iron is causing this problem. Once you clean it use distilled water available by the gallon at the grocery store. Joe

Assuming the iron is hot???, move the variable steam control from min to max several times to clear possible blockage. Sounds like the steam valve is clogged.

RE: "I am not having trouble with the steam in my iron. The problem is water
leaking from the access to the reservoir. I only tried using lesser
amounts of water and making sure the cover is secure. I do not know
what else to do."
Hello, welcome to Fixya!
Your Kenmore iron 80598 is having a leak because there is a hole somewhere on water reservoir.
Make sure the iron is not plugged into the wall. Get a screw driver disassemble the iron just to take a close loot at the reservoir in order to get the exact spot where the water is leaking from.
The moment you get the spot, click the spot to make it very dry. Now apply super glue on the spot that is leak. You can also put sand on the super glue before it gets dry.
That is, apply the super glue on he leaking spot, before the glue gets dry on the spot, put some sand on the glue liquid. This will make it very difficult for water to come out from that spot again.
I hope the above makes sense to you.
Regards.
Self-Cleaning and Maintaining Sole
Plate Use the self-cleaning feature once a month by
moving the steam lever back and forth from the "dry" setting several
times. This will remove any residue from the steam valve and ensure that the
steam system works properly. Wipe the sole plate with
a soft, damp cloth while the iron is cool and unplugged. Run the iron over a
cotton cloth several times to remove any residue from the sole plate. Cleaning Anti-Calcium Feature Fill the water cup that
came with your iron. Use enough water to reach the Sunbeam logo in the top
corner of the cup. Add a teaspoon of salt
to the cup and stir. Empty the salt solution
into the water reservoir in your iron. Allow the iron to stand
for 15 minutes, then empty out the water reservoir.Repeat this cycle with a
second cupful of salt water. Rinse out the reservoir
with clean water. You should perform this cleaning once a month.
