Try vinegar. Unplug from power, fill and let soak for a couple hours. Then rinse and see.

You should hear the boiler heat up the water. When you pull/push the trigger, a pump should be activated and steam should be released. If the pump is not working, it could be a defective capacitor acording to this article: https://lieven.kks36.be/2016/06/11/philips-perfectcare-aqua-does-not-pump-solved A spare capacitor should cost you no more than a few dollars, just find somebody with electronics/soldering repair skills.

Because its a temperature controlled iron, I would say that it only gets to the temperature to create steam and no hotter.
