DM880 Rowenta Professional Luxe Iron

time for the bin not worth fixing

your plug needs replacement. you have to put high wattage plug ,because iron has 1000watts or 4 amphere load.

Have you tried to turn the pressure right up as far as it can go and see if the steam naturally comes out that way,
hope this helps

If the input led is not glowing it means the connection to the mains inside your iron has got disconnected. Just open the iron. Check the input on the mains and check all the three wires are connected properly. It will heat again. You might have been changing to other type of clothes which requires more heat. Hence, you asked more voltage to the heating element and possibly due to more voltage the connection got broke and now the circuit is incomplete hence no led and no heatup.

Hi,

If the iron doesn't heat, make sure power is on to the outlet, check the electrical chord, and check the thermostat and replace if necessary.

If the iron heats but steams improperly, inspect the soleplate and clean the vents and flush sediment out of the steam chamber .
If the iron produces too much or too little heat, test the electrical chord . Also test and, if needed, adjust calibration of the thermostat.
If the iron does not spray properly, inspect and clean the nozzle.
If the iron leaks or spits, clean the steam vents, nozzle, and tank.
If the iron sticks to fabric, clean or repair the sole plate. If the iron stains fabric, clean the sole plate, clean the tank with a commercial cleaner, and use distilled or filtered water.

The tools you will need are

• Screwdrivers
• Toothpicks or pipe cleaners
• Sewing needle
• Commercial electric iron cleaning solution or vinegar and water
• Commercial sole plate cleaner or baking soda and water
• Steel wool
• Emery cloth

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.
