Re: Tefal aquaspeed 260 No heat no light. Fuse OK
I had the same problem. Turned out to be dirty contacts on the thermostat, easily cured with a strip of sandpaper, but you need to dismantle the iron first.
- Remove the 3 Torq screws in the heel plate (the purple triangular bit at the back, that you stand the iron up on when it's cooling off). One of the screws is a security screw so you'll need a special screwdriver, though I suppose you could risk drilling it out if you're desperate.
- Prise off the bottom section of the heel plate, to reveal the cable connector block. Pull out the connector block (it's just a push fit).
- Pull out the self clean / steam selector button.
- Prise off the white plastic front cover (the one under the self clean button, that surrounds the jet spray nozzle).
- Under the cover are 3 screws that hold the sole plate and iron body together. Undo them.
- Now you should be able to separate the main components of the iron and get to the thermostat. Check the contacts - mine had a build-up of carbon from the arcing as the thermostat operates. Clean both faces with a strip of sandpaper, then reassemble the iron, being careful to align the temperature selection lever correctly.
