Do I need to empty the steam tube at the end of ironing
Heating elements are vulnerable, they have a filament. Heat being generated should freely disperse. Another reason for having the water tank connected, is the possible buildup of scale. Like with coffee makers, the temperature would not reach a high enough level after some time and the iron then requires descaling.

Iron drips water while ironing. Sometimes it rusty
Use filtered water in the iron if your tap water is exceptionally hard or includes a lot of minerals. This can lessen the likelihood of corrosion and mineral development.

My eurosteam duet does not heat but the steam pump works and spits out water
If your Eurosteam Duet is not heating up and there is no steam being produced despite the water pump functioning properly, it suggests there may be an issue with the heating element or the temperature control system. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:
- Check the power source: Ensure that the iron is plugged into a functioning power outlet and that the power cord is securely connected to the iron. You can try plugging the iron into a different outlet to rule out any issues with the power source.
- Inspect the heating element: The heating element is responsible for generating the heat required for steam production. Over time, it can become damaged or worn out. If you are comfortable with electronics, you can use a multimeter to test the continuity of the heating element. If the heating element is faulty, it may need to be replaced by a qualified technician.
- Clean the iron: Sometimes, mineral deposits or limescale buildup can affect the heating performance of the iron. Try cleaning the iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. This usually involves using a descaling solution or vinegar to remove any mineral deposits from the internal components. Follow the instructions carefully to avoid damaging the iron.
- Check the temperature control system: The temperature control system regulates the heat output of the iron. If it is malfunctioning, it can prevent the iron from reaching the desired temperature. Unfortunately, diagnosing and repairing the temperature control system usually requires professional expertise. Consider contacting the manufacturer's customer support or a professional appliance repair service for assistance.

The steam is coming out but no pressure when I press the button for the steam to jet out
If you're experiencing an issue where steam is coming out but there's no pressure when you press the button for the steam to jet out, there could be a few possible causes:
- Water level: Check the water level in the steam generator or steam-producing device. If the water level is too low, it can result in insufficient steam pressure. Make sure there is enough water in the device according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Clogged steam vents: Over time, mineral deposits or debris can accumulate in the steam vents, obstructing the flow of steam. This can prevent the steam from building up pressure. Clean the steam vents thoroughly by following the manufacturer's instructions to ensure proper steam flow.
- Faulty heating element: The heating element is responsible for generating steam. If it is malfunctioning or damaged, it may not produce enough heat to generate adequate pressure. In this case, you may need to have the heating element inspected or replaced by a professional.
- Malfunctioning steam generator: If you're using a steam generator, it's possible that there is an issue with the device itself. Check for any error codes or warning indicators and consult the manufacturer's troubleshooting guide. If the problem persists, contact the manufacturer or a qualified technician for assistance.
- Incorrect settings: Ensure that you have selected the appropriate steam settings

My steam generator Phillips Perfect Care stop working.
Based on the issues you have described with your Phillips Perfect Care steam generator, it is possible that there may be multiple problems with the unit. It is difficult to say whether it is worth repairing without knowing the full extent of the damage and the cost of repair.
The leaking water and green and blue lights could indicate a problem with the water tank or the steam generator unit itself. The fact that the electricity went off when you tried to clean it with descaler could indicate a problem with the electrical system. The whistling noise and lack of lights when you plug it in could indicate a problem with the power supply.
If the cost of repairing the steam generator is significantly less than the cost of a new one and you have been satisfied with its performance in the past, then it may be worth repairing. However, if the cost of repair is close to or more than the cost of a new steam generator, it may be more cost-effective to purchase a new one.
Ultimately, the decision to repair or replace your steam generator will depend on the severity of the damage and the cost of repair. It may be helpful to consult with a qualified technician to determine the best course of action.
