- If the iron heats up, check that when on maximum power (ooo
setting on the temperature dial) the iron reaches 170-240 ºC. If
it cuts out below this temperature, change the thermostat and
re-adjust accordingly.
7.10.2 Checking the steam generator
The steam generator may also have the following faults:
- NTC fault: Don’t detect properly the temperature.
at 20ºC
- Thermofuse cut: Check the continuity of the thermofuse in the
boiler. If it is cut, change the thermofuse or the NTC
- If steam comes out (drops) constantly from the soleplate while
the steam button is not pressed, is a defect of the solenoid
valve (not closed). In this case, change the boiler set.
- If all the previous components are functioning properly, the
failure will be located in the PCB.
7.11 Skipping the residual current device (RCD)
To find the defective part, or determinate that it is problem of the
device, follow these steps:
- Check the continuity between switch contacts.
- Switch in ON position is open (there isn’t continuity). Check
ON/OFF switch wiring or change the switch.
- If switch is OK, check visually all components that have
consumption and cables, to detect signs of short circuit, and if
necessary, replace the damaged components.
- If indications of short circuit are not detected, disconnect the boiler
wiring and check the resistance with a tester.
- If the heater is OK, release components on the PCB (NTCs,
thermofuse), to determine which is the component that is causing
the failure.
7.12 Pump doesn’t work
With water into the tank, the pump must work aprox. 10 sec. after
switching on the steam station. Otherwise:
11. Check if the pump connectors aren’t disconnected.
12. Check the function of the pump with direct connection.
13. If the previous stops are OK, change the PCB
