Someone to repair steam generator?

Recommended Posts

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.

    • Quote "it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me." Doesn't say clearly that it tried to bite you , but instead implies that you had the impression, right or wrong that it wanted to nip you.  unless you are clear others will read it how you write it.  As for being a jobsworth, what a quaint old expression, haven't heard that for a long while. 
    • Crook locks can be sawn through, or the steering wheel to which it is attached, I know to my own cost. The safest additional security measure is what's called a ghost immobiliser, which cannot be traced through the car's electronics, meaning it is difficult to bypass. They cost a bomb however. 
    • I’ve reported two instances of mobile phone theft to 999 in recent times. On both occasions several police units have arrived very quickly - in one case they found the perpetrator.   
    • With all these high-end car thefts, surely there's a case to be made for all new cars to be supplied with a Crook Lock type device and having insurance invalidated if the owner does not have it in place when it is parked.
