20 Most Recent Euro-Pro EP1005 Iron Questions & Answers

My iron leaks out of the back end so I don't get any steam at the front of the iron.

I purchased a silicone heat protector for a pot handle and sewed it together with dental floss around the iron handle

You may not need a new iron, my wife's iron is doing the same thing. take the top of the ironing board off (you will need a torx t-20 security bit driver), under the tank is a connection that may have rusted out re-connet it and turn the iron on. Once it heats up, check the tank for leaks. The tank may need to be replace as well or try a 5-minute epoxy type glue on the leaks once it has cooled. If the tank leaks you will get not get enlugh pressure building up to get the steam.

Check the solenoid steam valve which is fitted on the steam tank output pipe, there is most likely a small port where some particles have clogged it up. Fill the reservoir with vinegar and water (50-50) and allow it to soak for 24 hours, then reheat and shake vigorously to drain. After you do that, rinse it out and retry

Hi,
I don't know that system, but you're real lucky, that type of irons are fantastic! Most such have something that looks like a big black knob (you can see the same type e.g. on steam cleaners). You screw it counter-clockwise until it opens. Then you fill it up with water through the little hole. That type of valve is the one I have seen the most on pro systems, while my own home type generator iron only has a tank you simply pull off so you can fill it under the faucet. I have no idea how the suction works, except for it being real great as it helps draw the steam through the garment and away, so it gets dry instantly. I'm sure it also allows you to use a lot more steam, e.g. on tough wrinkles...

Why don't you go to the Euro-Pro website, mail them and ask for their help in getting a manual for it? Or maybe you already tried that? If you look around, you might be able to get a downloadable manual from one of the many manual sellers online...

Good luck!

Hello, rslarve, Okay, here are a couple of links that should be helpful: Euro Pro Replacement Cover LC and Pad for EP1010 / 1005
This will link you directly to the purchase page for the ironing cover you want. Sorry, but after extensive searching, it's the only one I could find, so I suggest you get two while the getting is good! Customer Support for Sharkvac Products - sharkvac.com
This link will take you to a web page that will allow you to send the manufacturer an email explaining the part you need. Please, before you send the email, try your best to find your manual and see if there is a part number listed for the part you want. If not, and the old part is available (like—if you have a broken one), check it over thoroughly (perhaps using a small flashlight and magnifying glass to make sure you don't miss it) for any numbers that might be stamped, embossed, or etched into it. Even if they are not part numbers, they may help the manufacturer to locate the one you need. No matter what, send them as much information as you possibly can in order to help them be able to help you—the easier you make it on them, the more likely you are to get satisfactory results.  Finally, here is a toll-free number for the manufacturer's tech-support line: the same "homework" applies before you call it: 1-800-798-7398.

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.
