I tried to find someone before with no success, trying once more before I bin the ******* thing!

I was persuaded to buy this (very expensive) model by John Lewis, it has mostly appalling customer reviews (sadly only posted after I bought it), and it's been sitting unused in a cupboard since it broke some years back.

I'm presently de-cluttering, and this is a last-ditch attempt to get it sorted. The iron heats up, the water heats up, it all makes steam generator noises, but the iron no longer steams.

Yes it has been de-calced which was obviously the first thing I tried. I think the steam switch on the iron is broken. Parts are available cheaply online but I can't see any way to get into the iron!!!

It's a Stirella "No Problem" (hollow laugh) SX8040D Simac. The company went bust after I bought it (no connection I think) and was taken over by DeLonghi.

  Did you eat the chicken from the first two purchases? Did they smell before going into the oven? I’d definitely speak to the shop and also speak to Environmental Health at Lambeth - I think that is the borough that butcher is in. Hopefully ArchieCarlos will do the same.

  Something doesn't quite smell right here and probably it's not the chicken. Both the OP and TheWeekEnd specifically mention chicken thigh fillets. TWE purchased £14 worth of chicken thigh fillets and they were thrown away "probably for the third time". £14 equates to around 12 fillets which is a lot. Could some have been frozen after purchase and then thawed? And thawed properly before cooking? TWE has a total of 4 posts of which 3 are on this thread.
