Usually there are holes that a small screwdriver will fit into to unscrew the screws which is holding the unit together.. Sometimes they put stickers over the holes

try changing the thermal cut out.

Here's one source for the ZR0039 01 paper bag and microfilter for the RO1767R1 compact canister vacuum: https://www.alza.co.uk/rowenta-zr003901-d308208.htm?catid=18850976 . This is a 6 pack of the bags. This vendor also has the Wonder Bag for this model: https://www.alza.co.uk/rowenta-compact-wb305140-wonderbag-d308211.htm?catid=18850976 . I can't find a source for the HEPA filter version (ZR0041 01). This store has other locations. You can also find the vacuum bags here: https://www.alzashop.com/rowenta-zr003901-d308208.htm?catid=18850976 . I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

I am sure Batteries Plus will have what you need.

WHAT A PIECE!

I'm glad to provide the manual for the unit. Please click hear to download the manual.

Please let me know if you require any clarifications.

No charge for my answer, but you can contact an Expert on this type of appliances and discuss it further.

hi.

the white stuff is a mineral deposit from using hard water.
any proprietary descaling solution should remove this.
if you then use any of the scented ironing waters available from the supermarket, the scale will not return.

The iron has white flakes coming from the steam vents.

The white flakes can be caused by calcium or other minerals in the tap water. To solve this problem, switch to bottled spring water. Once the water is changed it may take several uses before your iron adjusts to the new mixture and the issue is corrected.

In case of a problem or clarification or my solution was insufficient, don't hesitate to post me a reply.

If you are satisfied, rate my solution with the "thumbs" or (even better) add a testimonial.

I wouldn't recommend the CLR. My suggestion is to run a cycle using white vinegar, the accepted standby for removing sediment and deposits in small and major appliances. I hope this helps. If it does, please rate my solution. Good luck!

Run white vinegar through the iron over the sink with iron on high & steam button pressed down. This should dissolve any minerals that build up in it. Then run water through it over the sink to rinse the vinegar out.

Can't quite track that down by the model number you show, but if you go to this URL:
http://www.rowentausa.com/rowenta/frame.aspx
there is information on an Effective iron that looks pretty close. There are downloadable files in the lower left hand corner. You might have better luck than I did tracking the model number you have at this site as well.
If this solution was helpful to you, I would appreciate a Thumbs Up from you.
Be well, Paul

run some c.l.r clear through it

Hi,
Here is a tip that I wrote about how to clean the sole plate of your iron...

I couldn't find any warranty information on this iron, but I suspect that the heating element either has a faulty connection or part of it has cracked, making contact at time, but poor contact at other times. The unit will have to be taken apart and inspected and troubleshot, and that's why I was inquiring about the warranty. Someone in a review of them said that their website and 800 number weren't working, so you might try to refer to your manual that came with it for support. Another person who uses them regularly said they just last for about 3 years before needing to be replaced. If the warranty isn't valid for you, I would disassemble it and try to see if an electrical connection to the element is cracked, perhaps, or has heat damage, then try to secure it. If the element's cracked or damaged by heat, it will need to be replaced. There's a chance the control unit's faulty, and any fix could run into some money. If you do have it serviced, get an estimate first. Sometimes it's just better to bite the bullet and get a new one. Good luck, and hope this helps.

Have been in touch with Rowenta spares agent and am
told no parts available for model RB02, so will have to
improvise
