Someone to repair steam generator?

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.

      Dell Autos is closing tomorrow

      By Sue · Posted

      Closing down completely. The lovely people there are all retiring. Thanks, but Deptford is a long way to go to make two journeys to  take and collect a car! Do they not do even relatively minor repairs if it fails its MOT first time? Then that would require four journeys 😭 Wondering if there's already a thread on here for garage recommendations? People on my road WhatsApp group have recommended some local ones. I'm particularly gutted because apart from the lovely people who worked there,  Dell was a five minute walk for me!

      Fireworks

      I did think that might be the reason, but five years out of seven it's going to be a weekday (I think. Not sure how leap years might affect things!)

      Fireworks

      By first mate · Posted

      Probably because the 5th was a weekday. We still have the weekend to come. Also, some fireworks going off nearly every night for the last few months. Last night something was being let off that made a very deep booming noise every 10 seconds or so. That said, if the general public are beginning to see the harm done by firework noise and choosing to use low noise options and refusing to support organised events that still use the full throttle type, I for one would be very happy. Does anyone know if the Herne Hill Velodrome Halloween fireworks event used low noise options?

      Are they like the 'Gilets Jaunes' with BTL mortgages?
