How to fix water leaking out of bottom of Rowenta steam iron
I'm on my fifth Rowenta iron. The first four eventually started to leak. I keep buying Rowenta because I get the best results except for the leaking. I've been using filtered water even though the manual sas to use tap water. I will start o use tap water. The fifth one I bought was highly rated by Consumer Reports. If this new one starts to leak, I'll bring it back and buy a different brand.
How to descale Rowenta model 9250
Pour in some vinegar (half) and some water (half) in the machine. Turn it on and let it run a bit. Make sure to do it outside since it smells badly. After that, rinse a few times before use.
My Rowenta Garment Steamer will not steam up.
Ok. This thing is caused by scaling. If the steam generator runs out of water the sensor thinks the tank is empty and causes the machine to go to standby (basically switch off -- orange light comes on). The solution: Open the machine and clean it.
MAKE SURE THE POWER CABLE IS UNPLUGGED BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO DO THE FOLLOWING:
1. There are six screws ( phillips - you will need a long screwdriver). Two of them are hidden under the wheels (just pop off the rollers and you will see the screws)
2. Open the steam generator (there are four screws) and be very careful with the 'O' ring -- you damage it and you can say good bye to the machine. Clean it if you see scaling. The amount of scaling present would indicate how hard your water was. This itself may not be cause of the problem but now that you openend the machine, you might as well as clean it for better efficiency.
3. Disconnect the hose to the steam generator (it has two circlips) and clean it. Mine had hard deposit of scales preventing the water reaching the steam generator.
Re assemble it.
Good Luck
