How to clean a non-stick sole plate iron
I had this iron, and have since gotten rid of it. I cleaned the iron by running it with a solution of vinegar and water, about 1/2 and 1/2. Ran the steam until the solution was empty, and cleaned the nozzles with a q-tip at the same time. It worked temporarily.

My wife's sunbeam microglide iron
I just took apart a Sunbeam iron. This is how it disassembles:
first remove the screw at the base. Next remove the moisture dial top
(it should just pop off). This allows the iron to slide apart - the
metal base from the top. It should slide about an inch then lift off.
My iron didn't get hot, and what I found is the gear that attaches the
temp setting to the electrical was missing a tooth. Perhaps you could
set the gear to permanently "ON". In my case I found out with brute
force how the iron is supposed to disassemble... time for a new iron...

My non stick sole plate on my Sunbeam iron is
The discoloration is from a reaction of your water and the shield. The best way to avoid this is to use distilled water rather than tap water or use a water filter. I have had this problem at home as well (i have well water) and using a filter "fixed" the problem for me. Hopefully this will resolve the problem for you as well.
Please let us know if you still have the problem and we'll look for other alternatives.

How to flush brown fluid from Sunbeam Steam Master
There is commercial iron cleaner, but you can use white vinegar and distilled water to flush it. I would use a mixture of half and half. Then let it steam its little self, when it is clear, rinse with the distilled water again, This kind of thing happens when you use tap water and let it sit in it without rinsing after using. I always use distilled water and empty right away after use. Good luck

Not heating up
The connection to your iron is perfectly alright and also to the cut offf circuit but unfortunately there is either a failure of the heating coild of the iron or a link failure to the iron heating element. The last option to check will be take a continuity test with a multimeter, you must get a low range below100- 250 ohms reading. If not you will have to open and test the coil for continuity failing which the coild is open. Replacing the coil to the cost of a new irron must be checked out. Hope you work this out. Good day

Small leak near handle
Hello,
Find the crack... make sure that it is clean and dry.
Then spread some supper glue over the crack and let it dry throughly.
After this you can refill with water and you will be good to go...
