How to dismantle Russel Hobbs RHI225 steam iron
Press the self clean button , hold it there, and gently move the iron to and fro, over the basin or bowel. CAUTION: Keep clear of the escaping water and steam. Water and steam will wash scale and dust through the soleplate, and into the basin or bowl. When the water tank is empty, release the self clean button .

I have a Carestyle 5 Braun Iron which leaks water everytime I press the steam button?
A steam iron generally produces steam in use as the movement allows water in the reservoir to move around and small amounts will escape into the heated sole plate.
The button to produce extra steam is mostly a small pump similar to those found in trigger sprays and hand soap bottle pumps and this is connected to the sole plate by a small-bore hose. It is far from unknown for one or more of the little hose(s) to become disconnected, often because of a limescale build up - even though the modern steam iron is advertised as needing only tap water, this is suitable only in soft water areas. Irons used in hard water areas tend to have a much shorter life so an alternative is advised.
My description doesn't apply to every steam iron - in some older designs the extra steam button opened a valve in the bottom of the reservoir to allow water to gravity feed into the sole plate. Although almost exclusively found on irons from the premium end of the market they were a nightmare of rods and rubber seals no longer lasting or reliable than those with a cheap plastic pump.
Clearly your iron needs dismantling and repairing if you can do this yourself, or replacing if you can't due to the disproportionately high repair shop cost. Some years ago my wife gave up on premium irons and began to buy the cheapest and was at first happy to replace them fairly often saying she found them no better or worse than the expensive ones. The first couple only lasted a couple of years each but the last one is now six or seven years old and still going strong.

Hi I have a Braun CareStyle 5 iron, which has developed a fault, It omits steam as soon as it warms up and will not stop unless you switch it off any idea's ?
I have the same issue, still looking for the root cause. So far i've fixed the microswitch, the valve and the electronics main board, the issue remains, so it's not coming from that. I finally found what the issue was in my case. The problem was with the led indicator light on the iron (the one on the front, close to the buttons on the iron itself). This was shorted and was causing the electronics to latch the EV continuously when powered. I just removed the led and it's working fine. You just need to remove the white cable to the led on the screwed connector on the back of the iron, if you don't want to mess with disassembly the whole iron.

Iliso iron will not retract
When cords won't retract, it's usually because they were pulled out too far, ie: past the red line on the cord.
Retractable cords have a limit to how far they can be pulled out in order for the spring to be able to "rewind" them back.
On products with retractable cords, they have a red line near the base of the cord to warn you to stop.
