My Norelco steam iron 1513 B, lights up, but does not get hot.

Flick a few drops of water on the hot iron plate and see if it sizzles. Otherwise, turn on the steam function button, and if the iron has water in it, when you tile the iron to iron, it wil.....STEAM.

check for loose wires

It's blocked, furred up. Try some de-scaler as per the instructions for steam irons.

There are two cause. One the boiler resistance doesn´t turn of because of snap disc or bimetal thermostat fault or because a coil in the working valve (security valve). But if you can heard a click of opening movement of valve when you push the button it is able to be a thermostat.

Make sure the valve between the base and iron is open.

If the iron heats but steams improperly, inspect the soleplate and clean the vents (see below) and flush sediment out of the steam chamber (see below).
If the iron produces too much or too little heat, test the electrical cord . Also test and, if needed, adjust calibration of the thermostat .
If the iron does not spray properly, inspect and clean the nozzle (see below).
If the iron leaks or spits, clean the steam vents, nozzle, and tank.
If the iron sticks to fabric, clean or repair the soleplate. If the iron stains fabric, clean the soleplate, clean the tank with a commercial cleaner, and use distilled or filtered water.
God bless you

hi! Long time listner, first time caller.

Iron not steaming AT ALL.

I have a tefal gv 7096

It turned on, all lights working and i can hear it heating up and when opening the calcium deposit i can see steam.

When i pressed the button - nothing. The iron it's self is hot (the plate) the lights on and but no steam.

The cord connecting the iron to the steam was also cold, so i could tell no steam was getting to the iron at all.

I wasn't sure if it was the button not working or something clogging the cord to the iron.

I did the vinegar thing. Let it sit for sometime (40 mins) and still nothing.
I did a weird thing of very carefully putting water on the plate while hot and it created steam from the plate. i think some backflowed and it started steaming, within seconds. might have happened with a bit more time anyway, but it def helped. All wokring fine now :)

Its the same thing i tell other postee, I assume you thought the iron is on because the lights are on, the problem is the supply to the lights are tap before parallel to the connection to the heaters. Most probably the connection to your heater is rusted(water seepage) or overheated(melted) thus there is no heat generated but the iron does indicate on.

Hi,

Here is a tip that will help you to troubleshoot your iron and figure out what is wrong with it.
