Steam holes clogged - Rowenta Steam Generator DG050 Iron

Have you made sure the steam setting is "on" ? Are the jets clogged? (white dry material in holes of hot side of iron).

Sounds like something is clogged with corrosion or scale.
Most small appliance are not cost effective to repair. Suggest buy a new one and instead use distilled water.

need to know what brand of iron?,is water leaking or dripping from the baseplate?,are the holes in the baseplate clogged ?is the steam button on or off.

Len..

tank or ports clogged: Disassembly and inspect , replace tank and seal if badly clogged or leaking. Emptying iron after each use allow heat to evaporate emaining water and help preventing clooging. Inspect valve and linkage: clean and replace as necessary.
God bless you

No. The machine is not gone but you may have to replace the steam compartment of the machine.. You can also try cleaning the rust.. You will need to get a pair of gloves open the steam compartment and clean the rusted area with dilute oxalic acid.. It will work more often than not..
Good Luck!

If steam iron clogs from minerals in water, follow use-guide directions for cleaning, or use a commercial iron cleaner. A fine needle in the nozzle hole may open it again. Sometimes "steaming" will remove lint clogging the iron; fill with at least 1/4 cup water, set it to "steam", and hold in the air or set flat on wire rack over heat and moisture resistant surface like counter protective mat. Let steam until empty. Using only distilled water in steam irons helps avoid mineral buildup. Or if you have burned stains or darkness on the bottom you can Heat equal parts of vinegar and salt in small pan rub solution on cooled iron surface to remove dark or burned stains

the preasure tank inside the iron could have a hole or the holes at the bottom of the iron are clogged up and needs to be cleaned.good luck

take down the iron and clean it the holes at the bottom of the iron are clogged up.good luck.
