Some irons like Rowenta have a self cleaning feature. If yours doesn't make a solution of 1/2 vinegar and 1/2 water and put it in your iron. Plug it in and allow it to heat that up. keep working your instant steam button for a while. Hopefully the vinegar will help remove the calcium build up and let it work.

My Morphy Richards steam generator iron is intermittent with steam.

If your Morphy Richards steam generator iron is experiencing intermittent steam and you suspect a blockage in the hose, here are some steps you can take to address the issue:
  1. Check the water tank: Ensure that the water tank is filled with clean water and that the water level is adequate. Low water levels can affect steam production. If necessary, refill the water tank.
  2. Examine the steam settings: Verify that you have selected the appropriate steam settings on your iron. Some models have different steam intensity levels, so make sure you have set it to the desired level.
  3. Check for blockages in the hose: Disconnect the hose from the iron and inspect it for any visible blockages. Use a long, flexible brush or pipe cleaner to gently clean the inside of the hose and remove any debris or mineral deposits that may be causing the blockage. Ensure that the hose is securely reattached to the iron after cleaning.
  4. Clean the steam vents: Over time, steam vents on the iron's soleplate can become clogged with mineral deposits or fabric fibers. Use a cotton swab or a soft brush to clean the steam vents, removing any buildup that may be obstructing the steam flow.
  5. Perform a thorough descaling: While you have already used white vinegar for descaling, it's possible that there are still mineral deposits causing the blockage. Consider using a commercial descaling solution specifically designed for steam irons. Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the descaling solution to effectively remove any scale or deposits that may be affecting steam production.
  6. Contact customer support: If you have tried the above steps and the issue persists, it may be best to contact Morphy Richards customer support for further assistance. They can provide specific troubleshooting steps or advise on potential repairs or service options.
Remember to always follow the manufacturer's instructions and safety guidelines when cleaning and maintaining your steam generator iron. If you are unsure or uncomfortable with any aspect of the troubleshooting process, it's recommended to seek professional assistance to avoid potential damage or injury.

I have a EURO-PRO X Model EP965 Steam Generator seems to working but steam is not coming our, neither for the iron nor for the brush.

I think you have a tank that is calcified and is not getting enough heat to the water assuming there is enough water in it. If it was blocked it would either cause the relief valve to vent or explode.

I would start by cleaning it, my best guess would be to run a few cycles with vinegar in it. This is a mild acid that will dissolve the calcium deposits. Try maybe a 50%-50% with vinegar and water.

Be sure the vinegar will not damage the unit, I do not know.

Hope these links help.

I have a tefal pro express steam generator iron. The thermostat light will no longer come on and water is coming out of the sole plate (as it does when you do a self clean) there is plenty of steam so I...

There is something definitely wrong with the mechanism and seal. The lamp might have been affected likewise. I think you need to replace your iron. If you can, you can try to repair it but the parts are hard to come by. Specially the silicone o ring.

My iron is getting hot but giving no steam can anyone advise

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

How to clean inside of iron

Please don't take Landsend advice, as it contadicts this whole "fixya" site! Let's keep it going by not giving in to this throw away world! Some people can't afford a $20 iron @ Wally's!
All the solutions above (besides Landsend) are on it!! Your City water is still too, hard for these delicate, devices. Filtered, as Alan Serna mentioned, is the way to go!! Dump your water out of your iron, when not using-maintenance is key, for everything, even your families!! : ) Have a G8 day!

Brown coming through holes and there is a funny odor.

Tell us what water you have been adding to the iron over the years?
Often times our household drinking water is 'hard' or has iron in trace amounts in it- While it may not be toxic to our bodies-- when you boil it off in the steaming process, the minerals remain behind, and make a brown or dirty residue in the chamber. That residue will often 'bleed' out into the passages of the steam holes.
Have you ever used Vinegar to try to clean out the chamber?
Tho this might helb get rid of the residue-- it does tend to move the debris into the steam passageway-
So-- unless you have some way of spending considerable time and effort cleaning it out-- It may ruin more white shirts in the process than it is worth.
Note: Using distilled water will extend the life of a steaming iron-- but eventually, even the best treated Steam iron will need to be replaced!

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

I have a Digital Advantage iron, the cleaning prompt comes on and I don't know what to do, thank you

I think you need to fill the water chamber almost to full, plug the iron in and rotate the steam dial all the way to the left. There is a "clean" setting. The iron will splutter and drip water and produce steam. This is the cleaning process. You can probably have the iron on any settinng. I hope this helps.
