I press the power button to heat the water and the light doesn't come on and I get cold water coming out. How can I fix this. The steam light doesn't come on either if I press that button in.

I do not have access to specific circuit diagrams for the ESP2 Singer Steam Press. However, I can provide some general information that may be helpful.
The ESP2 Singer Steam Press operates by using an electric heating element to heat a water reservoir, which produces steam to press clothes and fabrics. The electrical circuitry of the steam press includes a power switch, heating element, thermostat, thermal fuse, and indicator lights.
The power switch controls the flow of electricity to the steam press, allowing the user to turn it on and off. The heating element heats up the water in the reservoir, producing steam that is released through a pressing plate. The thermostat controls the temperature of the heating element, ensuring that the water is heated to the desired temperature. The thermal fuse acts as a safety device, preventing the steam press from overheating and potentially causing a fire. Finally, the indicator lights inform the user of the steam press's current operating status, such as whether it is heating up or ready to use.
If you're experiencing issues with your ESP2 Singer Steam Press, it's recommended that you consult the user manual or contact a qualified technician for assistance. Modifying or repairing electrical equipment without proper knowledge or training can be dangerous and may cause injury or damage to the equipment.

I assume there is a power 'On' light. If it is lit and no hot water is produced... the odds are the heating element is blown. If No 'Power On light' then change the fuse in the mains plug.... simples

Try this:

1. empty the cleaner.
2. pour some vinegar after DISCONNECTING POWER. Shake the unit for a few minutes and now empty the cleaner and watch what comes out as you shake out vinegar.
3. pour water into the unit upto suggested level and power up after closing the top lid securely.
4. wait until the indicator light turns off (if you have one).
5. press button to see if steam comes out.
warning: Never open the top cap while the unit is powered. you may get burnt badly.
good luck

Hi
If it heats with the steam switch, its your brew thermostat. If it doesn't, its your heating element.

Hi
It sounds like your brew thermostat is bad, or your ready light is burnt out. Does the ready light come on with the steam button?

We are having the same problem. Any answers?

Does the bottom light come on? The light is connected across the heating element and so if it is on the heating element is getting power. From looking at mine it looks like the bottom button for steam power bypasses the thermostat and uses the pressure switch to shut off the heating element. So if the light comes on when you press the steam switch but off when it isn't it is most likely your thermostat causing problems, if it never lights it is most likely the pressure switch. I do not claim to be an expert on the machine but from looking at mine that is what i would expect.

johnshami had this solution on another post, and it worked for us:

1. make sure the water in the tank is stone cold -- which is a no brainer since it will not heat h2o unless it's primed.
2. take off steamer wand cover, turn the steamer knob clockwise till pump starts.
   
3. then s*ck (as you would on a straw, with your lips sealed around the end of the steamer wand) the tip of the end of the metal tip hard until pump stops
   
4. may need to do it a couple of times. yes this seems crazy, but it works! you are flushing out the vapor lock in the pump.

NO THERMOSTART LIGHT,BUT THE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON

OK... so I have fixed my problem of NO STEAM, just lots of water coming out of the iron press plate itself... I had already cleaned the boiler, so I tried adding 1/4 tsp - 1/2 tsp bicarbonate soda to the water and flushing it through. From what came out of the iron press plate, I would say the problem was caused by a build up of goop (technical term) inside the iron. Once cleared, the iron is steaming away again. Please note, u will need to have an old towel handy if this is ur problem, 'cos until it starts getting better, there is a fair amount of water coming out of the iron press plate. Just add the bicarb to the water reserve and use the steam buttons to bring the bicarb through. Do not attempt to iron clothing with the bicarb in the water!!! Carolyn ;)
