Hamilton beach 19804 iron heating hot, cord hot. Is it time to trash it?

SOURCE: blinks and doesn't heat.

Could be a loose connection or a damaged cable. Try gently moving the cable and see if it starts to blink etc?

How old is it? Is it still in warranty Guarantee? If it is, take it back to where you bought it from and they should repair it or replace it.

Failing that you may have to buy a new one. Wallmart or similar have cheap electrical appliances

SOURCE: My iron shuts off when I am continuously ironing.

The flashing is a indication that somthing is failing.. More than likely it is a internal component..
It might be most efficent to get a new one..
Or bring it back if it is under warranty..

Good luck..

If water is leaking out of the iron:

• Do not overfill the water tank.

• If steam ironing, is Adjustable Steam Knob in a steam position that matches Temperature Control Dial steam range? Did the iron have enough time to preheat?
• If dry ironing, make sure the Adjustable Steam Knob is in the DRY IRON position.
