try adding a calcium cleaner (like CLR) and letting the steam run all the way through without ironing and see if it cleans the steam lines and holes

Hi Fred,

The euro-pro irons are designed to be tossed when they break. That said, you may be able to disassemble the handle by gently prying with a piece of thin metal, a feeler gauge works for this application. Feeler gauges are available in any hardware store. The plastic parts are snapped together at the factory. There is no service center for these irons.

I would begin with a pair of pliers and try to gently reseat the dislodged buttons.

The steam valve may be partially blocked with scale so it doesn't close properly. You can try disconnecting the iron from the base unit and flushing it several times with the valve open and then closed. If it is possible to disassemble the valve, you can clean the contamination directly. You may also find that the seal or o-ring is worn out. My mother would use only distilled water in her iron, so she never had that problem. I see from the product manual* that yours is "designed for use with tap water" if the filter is used. There's probably a limit to how much lime in the water it will tolerate, but the manual says nothing about that. If the Laurastar Lift Xtra is less than a year old and you were diligent about replacing the filter when you got the replacement alert light, you may be able to get warranty service. *http://image.email.laurastar.com/lib/fe4715707564057e751572/m/3/75bb559a-f7e0-4d65-aa02-6d2bf912641f.pdf

1...You need to check the iron settings as they have an adjustable knob that controls temperature as well as governs which kind of materials you want to iron. Different clothing materials need different temperature and other settings. Make sure you set the knob carefully. If you are unable to set the knob properly, you can check the user manual and make sure the temperature or heat amount is set at the right point.

2...Another thing that you need to check in order to inspect why the iron press is not heating up is the water reservoir. In some cases, if the water reservoir is empty then the iron press may not be heating up as much as it should.

For this, switch the iron off and make sure it is cool. Switch it on again and top up the water in the reservoir. Now try ironing again to see whether the heat is proper or not.

Question edited for clarity. Question moved from Elna Sewing Machines No one has reported this issues, so there are no known fixes. The system is simple, just a hinge with a spring to counterbalance some of the weight. Look for something out of place or binding at the hinge area, perhaps the pivot pin is dislodged. https://www.google.com/search?q=elnapress+iron+won%27t+close+properly ..

please check the pilot lamp is on and lighting, if not, replace the fuse in the wire cod. also check on the internal thermal fuse it might be damaged. if all fuses are fine please measure the resistance of the heating element and verify that the switch is closing properly

please check the distance between the live and earth surface of the flat iron. the clicking sound could be originating from a possible short circuit

Question edited for clarity and all the typos / spelling errors. Descale it again, but use CLR Descaler which is made for the job. I presume you can feel heat? When using the descaler shake the unit every 5 minutes because the steam valve outlet will be at the top. of the heater chamber. https://www.google.com/search?q=Tobi+Platinum+Model+EC1710+descale Use the mix details for Irons and coffee machines

Heating elements are vulnerable, they have a filament. Heat being generated should freely disperse. Another reason for having the water tank connected, is the possible buildup of scale. Like with coffee makers, the temperature would not reach a high enough level after some time and the iron then requires descaling.

Use filtered water in the iron if your tap water is exceptionally hard or includes a lot of minerals. This can lessen the likelihood of corrosion and mineral development.
