Power switch on iron heats up but no steam generation

Polti have many models. All question need 'make model (what it is)' as the first 3 words in every question. Otherwise it is a but of a guess.

If it is getting hot, then it should be producing steam. There can only be on reason and that is that something is blocked with limescale. Has it ever been descaled?

If it the type that has a hot flat iron and a hose to a steam generator tank, then it is possible that the element has failed. It is worth descaling that unit as well just in case there is a blockage down there. Add the descaling solution and turn it on for 5 minutes. Turn it off, leave 5 minutes and give it a shake every 5 minutes for 30 minutes. The descaling solution will only remove scale from places the solution touches.,

I assume it has water in it. Is it set hot enough to generate steam and is it getting hot, if not check your breaker or fuse. Try these links for more help:

We had this problem whilst still in warranty. Without question they sent a new iron. We have only used the di-ionised water in the new one making descaling much less painful

See the causes and proceed according, fix it. God bless you
If the iron doesn't heat, make sure power is on to the outlet, check the electrical cord, and check the thermostat (see the Appliance Controls Fix-It Guide) and replace if necessary.
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 (see the Appliance Controls Fix-It Guide).

I would empty the water out and attempt to flush it out and steam some C.L.R through it

Did anyone help you with this? Did you find - I also need one!

I have a Breville VIN153 should steam be coming out of the base unit aswell as the iron itself?
