When i plugged the iron it wont start , i have to shake the plug up and down then it start and as soon as i leave the cord it goes back to shut down

Is it a newer iron? Newer versions of irons shut off after a period of inactivity--a safety feature. If it shuts off while you are using it, then it has a malfunction.

..

If you start ironing with it, does it come back on? It usually doesn't take long for auto-shut-off irons to turn themselves off--a few minutes in the upright postion, and about 30 seconds if left sitting in the down position. Once you start the ironing motion, it should come back on.

Soak the base in vinegar and water for two hours, shake it and see the junk come out. Repeat with fresh vinegar and water. Leave the iron in the airing cupboard overnight to dry out internal condensation. Next day half fill iron with vinegar and water leave two hours, empty. Plug in it will likely heat up again so put water in the iron and heat it up then unplug use the calc clean and shake it over the sink

Check the cord for any kinks or cuts before checking the cord connection to the appliance itself for loose or touching wires. What is decalc the iron ?

just replaced the power cord, you can buy wire and plug then assembled it to the iron and replaced the old power cord which may cause of shut off.

Time to change the cord!! And stop pulling it out of the socket by the cord, pull it out by the plug itself

Try re-tightening the wires at the plug and on the iron, but if this does not solve the problem ,replace the cable.You should be able to get it from your local hardware.

Hope this has helped you

Please come back to me if you have any further issues

This is a problem with a lot of Rowenta irons. It is the auto shut off that is not working properly and the only way to fix it is to have it disassembled and the switch hardwired to be on whenever the iron it plugged in. It is a thermal metal switch and it just stops working and then the iron will not turn on and the yellow light blinks.
