<!-- from fixya rte -->Green light flashes and not heating - Oreck Cordless Speed JP8100CA Iron

You would have to take it apart and check the following in this order with a multimeter.

Element continuity.
Switch operation.
Thermostat.
Wiring plug to internal junction terminals

..

That is the normal way of operation. The green light comes on when the iron is heating up and when the temperature is right the thermostat switches off power hence the light going off.

If it is a new iron, take it back to the dealer. Any attempt to repair or adjust on it will void the guarantee.

Hi,

Here is a tip that will help you to troubleshoot your iron and figure out what is wrong with it.

Generally, the lights on the right flash until the desired temperature is reached. When they stop flashing it means the iron has heated to the temp. that you selected. I'm having trouble with mine now, also, so I can't diagnose.

sir, this is the rare problem. you need to replace your iron's heating coil. due to this these type of problem arisses.
thanks for contacting fixya

The green light indicates the unit thinks it is out of water. Take of rewervoir; make sure the inlets are not plugged. Open the little plug on side, clean tank w/ clear water only, and shake out all water completely. Put it all back together, but leave reservoir off. Turn on and run unit "dry". Your should hear a "flutter" sound as the unit trys to pump water from missing reservoir, the heater/steamer should be sizzling hot & pressurizing. THEN the green light if ome ON, asking you to switch it off, refill & install the water reservoir. If things don't happen in that sequence, you should be able to determine what is wrong.
