    It is more likely if you are in a hard water area the appliance is blocked with limescale. Use a de-scaler like Stock Number: ES1541155

  • I had the same problem and found it to be build up of limescale inside the base unit. I had to take the base unit apart. There is a junction of 2 pipes where the pipe goes off to the iron. The junction has small metal clips around it. The clips easily open by squeezing and you can pull the tubes apart. Inside was completely blocked by limescale. I just poked it out with a cocktail stick and then reassembled everything. Works like new. The descaler recommended by eSpares may also do the trick without having to disassemble the base unit, but I didn't try that. By CH - - 02 October 2016

    Check any seals allow to dry and place on a newspaper and refill to see if it leaks when cold or only after use.

    It is likely if you have hard water that your iron is blocked with limescale. Try emptying and refilling with a product like Stock Number: ES1562116 to try and clear any limescale build up.

    We believe that is could be blocked by limescale that would stop it from producing steam.

I've only had it for about a year and never renewed filter

    Glasgow is listed as not being a hard water area so the iron should not be blocked by hard water scale. If the iron cuts out and flashes when moved it suggests a break in the wiring or faulty thermostat and we would advise not to use it until checked by a competent electrician.
