Take apart GS 6010

Screws may hold the shell together but the halves are usually clipped together by hooks around the edge of the shell to discourage would be 'electricians' from doing home repairs. Once you've removed the screws and the body held by the screws doesn't come apart, look for a point where you can insert a screw driver in it to pry the body part out. If you can't do that, then don't do it. best thing to do is take it to a repair agent. At least it's safer.

I tried to take apart a rowenta for my neighbor-Basically it is GLUED TOGETHER and is basically non repairable unless returned to vendor who repairs tge ho get them reglued! Weird!!!!!

First remove screw the on the back of the iron. Next pull out on the fill tub on the front of the iron. Pliers might be needed. Another screw will seen at this time. Remove this screw and the sole plate will separate from the top portion of the DE 871.

This is probably caused by a connection inside the iron which is arcing. Should be disassembled and all connections inspected for heat damage. Repair connections as appropriate.

I have a DE-05 that needs a new cord and cleaning of steam discharge holes. I'll be gald to take photos and send them to you if you'll share your source for parts and method of disassembly. Contact me at chuxbizAThotmail.com, just replace the AT with @.

Thanks,

This is a problem with a lot of Rowenta irons. It is the auto shut off that is not working properly and the only way to fix it is to have it disassembled and the switch hardwired to be on whenever the iron it plugged in. It is a thermal metal switch and it just stops working and then the iron will not turn on and the yellow light blinks.

This problem is the way that rowenta seals the water tank. If the iron is disassembled and the seal is properly put on it will not leak,, however this seal is a silicone based product and not just an off the shelf gasket. I have sealed and repaired some using a high temp silicone

To get the base off, you have to remove the 2 screws from the face.
the button for the reel has a screw behind it, that needs to be removed.

Take a thin piece of metal, like a spark plug gapper, and slide it in the side to push back the tabs. You have to do it on each side. Remove button and take out screw. The base will come off.

Now you need a special torx srewdriver that allows for the center of the screw to enter the screwdriver.......

Learned the hardway and didn't have the correct torx..... Good Luck
