Morphy Richards Elite Jet Steam 42239 Steam Generator With Diamond Soleplate, Charcoal/White
How to Identify and Fix Common Vacuum Problems ?
Our sources include academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays from experienced Vacuum Technicians :
Your steam vents might be clogged. You need to descale the iron. You can either buy descaler solutions or make your own.
You may have used the steaming function too frequently in a short period of time. Keep ironing at a horizontal position and wait for a while before using the steam function again. Over time, lime or gunk may form on your iron`s soleplate, hindering steam. For milder cases, try wiping the soleplate with a wet rag.
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.
Some Morphy Richards` models switch off after about 10 minutes of idleness. This is to save energy, and it`s a built-in safety feature. So, if you leave your steam iron for a lengthy period of time, and you go back to it but there`s no steam, you need to switch the appliance back on again.
If the steamer doesn`t turn on, make sure the power is on at the electrical receptacle. Test the electrical cord with a multimeter. If the heating element tests faulty, replace the steamer. If the resistor tests faulty (see below), replace it or the steamer.
check the cap of the water tank to make sure it is correctly and securely attached to the water tank. check your water tank to make sure it is securely and correctly fitted in to the body of the garment steamer – incorrect placement of the water tank can block water from feeding in to the body and boiler of the steamer.
It is recommended that you replace your steam iron every 3-5 years, depending on how often it is used. Regular maintenance and cleaning of the soleplate should also be done to ensure optimal performance.
Most repairs are for faulty cords, damaged handles, and mineral deposits that hamper steam irons. Problems with an iron`s electronic complements should be dealt with by an authorized service center. It typically is more cost effective to replace rather than repair an iron with internal problems.
Due to humidity and water ingress the main PCB of Tefal GV6760 Effectis Steam Generator Iron gets corroded. This causes the iron to stop functioning or error LEDs flash. The repair is relatively easy. It requires full teardown and 99% alcohol wash of the PCB solves the issue most of the times.
Most irons seem to have one these days: the auto-off feature, that little mechanism that causes your iron to go into a “stand-by” mode when not in use. It cools down the iron`s plate completely when not in use for a certain amount of time.
However, the ironing surface is then constantly heated up to the set temperature and electricity consumption increases. With older iron models or those with technical defects, however, a thermal overload can occur after a very long period of operation, which in the worst case can lead to a cable fire.
A: There is an overheat switch inside the fabric steamer that will shut down the unit if it runs out of water and isn`t turned off. But, there will be damage to the unit before it kicks in.
It shuts off automatically for safety and is on swivel casters for easy movement. This Jiffy steamer comes backed by a three-year warranty, too. Though it may be obvious just by looking at this steamer: Because of its size and pole length, it may be a bit challenging to store.
There are several reasons why your flat iron will not turn on. Check the cord for any frayed or exposed wires. If that is fine, it could either be a faulty on/off switch or a blown fuse. See our troubleshooting guide here for more information.
This could mean one of two things: your heat press has a cold spot or there`s an area that isn`t getting enough pressure from the top platen.
First, check to make sure the unit is plugged in and is in a working outlet. Next, check to make sure there is water in the tank. It is very important to make sure you are ONLY using water to fill the tank. Other solutions may cause breakdown of the gasket and/or other parts of the machine.

I have a Roomba 560 (it’s still in warranty !!) and, after my summer vacation, it has a problem.
When I’m charging Roomba, the orange light blinks (and this is normal!) but this orange blinking continues forever…. the light doesn’t change to green.
If I detach Roomba from the charger, the light become green and it works normally until the light changes to red and I have to charge it again.

If I detach Roomba from the charger, the light become green and it works normally until the light changes to red and I have to charge it again.
WHY, DURING THE CHARGING PHASE, THE LIGHT DOESN’T CHANGE FROM ORANGE-BLINKING TO GREEN?
HAVE I
ANSWER : The problem is not with the charger itself but it is with the battery inside the Roomba. It sunds like one or more of the cells has gone bad so its not holding the same charge as it did. I would recomend sending it in while the warranty is still valid so they will replace it. Your charger and the Roomba itself should be fine.
A few tips to keep the battery working longer:
Only charge the battery when it is drained all the way to zero. It will help keep the battery active.
Only charge the battery until it is full and then disconect it from the power source. It will keep it active longer plus it will help keep your electric bill down.
On my kenmore central vac no power unplug unit plug it back green light comes on but try turning vac on green light goes off again .
ANSWER : Please clarify that we are talking about the central vac LED/switch panel panel and plugging it into a 110 V wall receptacle.
If I understand when you unplug from the power source ,then plug back in the green LED comes on, looking normal ? But when you manually activate the switch on the motor housing of the vac itself the vac does not start and the LED goes out, so no green or red LED at that point?
If this is the case , Kenmore CV’s built approx 5 years ago (MADE by EUREKA) and prior had a circuit board with attached cord (as opposed to detachable) which was prone to relay failure. There were several symptoms, most common was that the relay on that switch panel /circuit board would fuse on and the vac would continue to run when the hose was detached from the wall.However some I worked on from that era had exactly the same symptom you describe. If your unit is between 5 and 10 years old and this sounds accurate, you can unscrew this curved side panel relay with one philips screw. Inside on the PCB will be an L shaped black or white 24volt relay, generally rated at 10 amps. The replacement board or relay will be rated at least 24V/ 15 amps or more. If you can isolate your motor and test it separtely with a power cord or meter , the realy/board will be the only control componnet left.
If you have a small tipped soldering IRON, not a gun, you can generally find a replacement relay to rebuild the board for about $6 at an electronics parts store. Otherwise you will need to replace the control board itself, anywhere form $45 to $70 plus service call if you have a tech come out to the house, and the tech will just unscrew , detach wires and replace the board, no repair , approx 15 minutes work. This will likely cost over $100.

My roomba mounts up to the charger the light blinks red then after a time it goes green but when I dismount it and push the green button it immediately goes red. It doesn’t beep or do anything. It is that the battery is not charging?
ANSWER : You have dead nimh (nickle metal hydride) batteries. You.will need a replacement. You can test for this by removing the battery.and holding the power button for 15 seconds. This will restart the.charging cycle as if the battery were new.
Dirt finder I have a Hoover U6439-900. After the cleaner was used a few times, the dirt finder light cycles between green and red on the regular setting and will not go to green. On the sensitive setting, the red light stays on most of the time. I have tried to run the cleaner to remove any dirt but have not solved the problem.
ANSWER : The sensor may be bad, or it may be coated over with dirt. Re,ove the hose at the back of the vacuum, the head of the sensor is down inside that opening, reach in there and clean it off and see it that corrects the problem, if not replace the sensor.
Press the power button on – good got a green light (new battery)
press the clean button – got a green light
press the clean button – got a green light
iRobot runs for a couple of seconds and stops, then starts, then stops. After two or three times I now have a red light on for the Status.
All of the wheels seem to be clean. I used compressed air to clean the underside. But still have the start stop problem.
ANSWER : How many times does the red light blink before it pauses?

Electrolux Epic 6500SR Full Bag sensor working, Does not Reset properly
ANSWER : The problem was a sticking switch that was not being reset. The vacuum on/off switch mechanism is comprised of two switches. One is the main switch that turns the vacuum on and off. The second is a shut off switch that gets tripped when the full bag sensor is engaged. This second switch is supposed to get reset when you push the on/off switch on the outside of the machine. The full bag shutoff switch was stiff and it, therefore, was taking a couple of presses of the on/off switch to move the shutoff switch back into the running position.
