My mom gave me a euro-pro 1495 and I can't get it to heat up. It also looks like it has a removable sole plate extension but I can't figure out how to get it off. Is there an online manual available?

Check the hose for something clogging it. It will be past the flattened area (by that I mean further from the steam cleaner). It sounds like something got stuck in the hose, and as the steam cleaner kept sucking on the hose, it caused the hose to flatten.

Why is there black water in my Euro Steam Iron?

Question moved from Coffee Makers.

Has it ever been descaled? That is oxidization from the aluminium tank and sole plate upper surface.

Steam is not coming out of my Euro steam. Why?

The iron needs to be taken apart and cleaned,the thermostat switch contacts need resurfacing for better contact and the sole plate needs unblocking and a good clean out,at this time any deteriorated seals can be replaced and the spray pump can be checked for blockages,any loose sole plate screws can be tightened and that should do it,good as new all that's left is to reassemble''

The power cord on my Shark model #G146810 is loose and doesnt heat, can this problem be fixed?

Hi!!
It should be an access plate fasten by a couple of screws right below the power cord, remove them and fix the cord's terminals/contacts or the cord itself.
Good Luck!! A HELPFUL - 4 THUMBS - rating for this solution would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for using FixYa.

Will not light and will not heat up

Problems like this assume the iron is at fault. but may not be.

Check the wall socket you are using works with other appliances.

If you use the iron via an extension lead, check that the lead is working by checking with another appliance also.

Take out the fuse in the plug of the iron and put into another appliance to test its working and not fused.

Only if all is well at this point should you bin the iron.

Flat 'hot plate' irons are so cheap nowadays, so bin it and get an new one. The best are steam generator irons with a reservoir of water container attached. Mine cost £30/$60 so spend wisely.

EP8001 Steam generator.

Sears sells a screwdriver set (47486 is written on the handle) that has a lot of non-standard drivers. There is one on there that will fit the nuts on this unit.

Also, I used a rubber tube from an Auto parts store to replace the cracked hose. I figured the Automotive hosing was designed to withstand the heat of an engine. So, it should work on this iron.

Bring the cracked iron hose with you to the auto parts store.
