if the dial or iron wont heat up at all

most sunbeam irons have 12 month warranty
if less than 12 months old and you have the reciept
take it back for refund or exchange

if out of warranty toss in the bin...... buy a new iron

If the GCSBBV-200 is similar to other Sunbeam steam irons, fill the iron when it is cool and unplugged. With the ironing surface flat on the sole plate, set the Steam dial to dry and the Fabric Select dial to Min. Then use an easy-pour measuring cup to pour water into the opening at the top front of the iron. Make sure not to fill past the maximum fill level. (Tip the iron up as if you were resting it between passes with the iron to check the level.)

I hope this helps.

(Sunbeam has the manual for the GCSBBC-395 on their support site: http://www.sunbeam.com/service-and-support/product-support/instruction-manuals/garment-care/other/garment-care-other-manual.html . The direct link to the manual is http://demandware.edgesuite.net/aamb_prd/on/demandware.static/Sites-sunbeam-Site/Sites-sunbeam-Library/default/v1425126445413/documents/instruction-manuals/160253.PDF . Check how similar your iron is to the newer models.)

If I was you I would either go to the Sunbeam site and in the search box enter the model name and number and get a download a manual for fixing the iron or troubleshooting problems. If that don't work Send the Iron back to the company for a new one.

This must be included in the manual. For the manual ask here, they can get you virtually any Sunbeam manual.

I bought a new replacement iron at Sears for $17.99. It is not worth fixing my old one .

any steam iron more than a few years old...usually isn't worth repairing.  Just buy a new one.

My iron leaks when I fill it past the fill line, so make sure you're filling it only to the fill line.

on most common IRONS , theres a screw located on the back where the main cord is , underneath it , AJ
