Someone to repair steam generator?


Sue

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.

    • Had a great experience with Paul. He sorted out a lighting issue we had very efficiently and I would highly recommend him! https://www.checkatrade.com/trades/edgleycontracting382245

    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
