I have a shortage in my cord and my iron cuts off when the cord moves not all the time but enough to frustrate me. I love my iron. So how do I get it repaired? the shortage is in the top of the cord not where I plug into the wall. help!

Sunbeam Model: gcsbcs-212
The outlet cord was bad (pinched from falling off the ironing board) inside where the cord goes into the iron.
1. Remove Bottom Sticker
2.Remove 2 Screws
3. Pry off Sunbeam Back Cover
4. Remove 2 screws
5. Pry off Cover
6. Remove Cord Clip (2 Scews)
7. Cut Cord and Strip off ends ( do I cable at a time) Red Circle
8. Crimp back and Test.

Don't keep using it unless you want to get electrocuted... It is cheaper now to buy a new iron than it is to have this one repaired.

Thank you for using FixYa. Is the cord cut near the iron end or the outlet end? could the cord be shortened? A new cord can be purchased at most reasonable hardware stores and with a little care and attention can be replaced yourself.

Hope this has been of some help.

the cord has a bad or broken connection in it. replace cord.

Usually the cord at the base breaks off, because of tension from too much moving and pulling!

If thats problem u could cut the appropriate length and screw again the end of the cord!

It is probably an intermittent cord connection next to the strain relief. You can simply remove the back cover, cut the cord, pull the remaining cord (approx 6-8") and reconnect it. You can also order part # RS-DE 245954 the whole cord assembly including the circuit board for about $25.

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

I drilled out the nubs in the center of the screws. removed the screws, and took off the back plate. The problem is that the cord seems to be abraiding when it swivels, and eventually wears thru. It seems like a fire hazard and should be looked into by Rowena. Anyway, I cut out the damaged cord and reattached it. Problem fixed..

Sounds like a damaged cable? It may be cheaper to buy a new one from wallmart or similar store.

IF you take off about a inch of wire from the plug and re-wire it [somtimes with new plug also] make sure to remember the fuse and this should do the trick.
