First let me say I HATE AUTO SHUT OFF!!! It sounds like it has wore out. the computer part that tells it when to shut off it not working. It would be cheaper to buy a new one vs fixing yours. If I were you, find an older iron that has LOTS of steam vents and NO AUTO SHUTOFF at your local goodwill, thrift store or garage sale.
The thermostat is the problem, I used aew3656's
solution posted elsewhere, and took care of the same problem on my steamer, just take
out the damaged thermostat and use it as a sample to get a new one from
any electronics supply store, BTW dont forget to buy thermal grease, it
helps dissipate the heat so your steamer won't overheat, and the
thermostat wont't go off every 2mins.

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.
