Steam leaking from near temperature control sensor

The most likely cause is a cracked steam heater - if it only leaks when using the steam function - the 615 has one pump - for coffee, Hot water and steam - so that is all good, but has two heaters - one for coffee and hot water - the other for steam. It could be a faulty valve or fitting but in my experience the heater is the first to go

I've had the same problem with two Rowenta irons. When set to a lower temperature, the iron has a bad habit of leaking water when the steam option is on. I have to either turn up the temperature setting or shut off the steam option.

If the steam is rising from the radiator and not from the overflow tank or hose then you do have a leak.. in the radiator. check for a cracked tank or fitting where the hoses connect. If it is making steam the guage is probably defective. Find out where that steam is coming from ! If the car is making steam the rad fan should probably be running.. I do not know about your particular car but some times the secon fan only comes on with A/C use or extream heat.

Tr019 is a type of control panel that operates the electrical features in a steam shower cabin, usually found in Chinese products. The issue you have is with the valve, in particular the on/off valve. These can be replaced individually or as a complete new valve . This company in uk sell them http:// www.steamshowerparts.co.uk

There are only 3 likely causes. The first and most likely is the room sensor inside the shower. This is a resistive type sensor that communicates the temperature in the room to the controller via ohm ratings. There is an equivalent ohm rating for every degree of temperature it correlates to and that is how the temperature controller knows what temp it is in the room. Often in commercial steam rooms clients tend to spray cold water on the sensor which causes damage and alters the ohm rating to the point where the sensor is relaying incorrect room temps to the controller, causing high or low temperatures. Normally when the room is hot, it causes the alloy metal of the sensor to be hot. When cold water is sprayed on it, it immediately bring down the temp of the alloy and the thermal shock warps the metal causing the resistance values to change. Set your multi-meter to ohms and remove the sensor wires from the back of the controller. You will do your ohm reading on the sensor wires. Check the actual room temperature with a thermometer. At room temp 77 degrees you should be getting 10,000 ohms, at 100 degrees you should get 5827 ohms, and at 120 degrees you should get 3759 ohms. Note as the temp goes up the ohms go down, this should help you determine if your sensor is good. The other possibility is your steam solenoid valve is stuck in the open position. Simply check if there is voltage running to the solenoid. If there is no voltage but the room is filling with steam your solenoid is stuck open and needs to be replaced. The last is the controller, and by process of elimination if the sensor and steam solenoid are good then the controller may be the issue.

If water is leaking out of the iron:

• Do not overfill the water tank.

• If steam ironing, is Adjustable Steam Knob in a steam position that matches Temperature Control Dial steam range? Did the iron have enough time to preheat?
• If dry ironing, make sure the Adjustable Steam Knob is in the DRY IRON position.

E4 error is a pressure and temperature differential. Check the steam generator solenoid,steam generator water pump and water sensor in clean water reservoir. If any of these components are faulty then replace. If all ok refer to E2 error and check inner temperature sensor or check for steam leaks

Hi,
Here is a tip that will help you with that problem...

My Steam Iron is Leaking Water

Hello :

1:Clean your steam iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Your iron is more likely to leak when it has not been cleaned properly. Plus, the water that leaks from a steam iron that hasn't been cleaned will likely be dirty and stain your fabric. Every steam iron brand is different, so be sure to check the manual that came with your iron or browse the manufacturer's website for instructions on keeping your steam iron in good working order.

2:Use your steam iron on a rigid surface like an ironing board. In a rush, you might be tempted to quickly iron a blouse or pants on the nearest available surface like a bed, carpet or even on a table with a towel draped over it. However, these surfaces may not provide the proper amount of level padding for successful steam ironing, and leaks are more likely to occur. Take the time to set up your ironing board for smooth steam ironing to reduce water leaks on a bumpy surface.

3:Allow your steam iron to heat fully in the upright position before ironing. Because your steam iron is designed to convert water into steam that will easily smooth out wrinkles on bulky fabrics, you can avoid leaks by ensuring your iron has time to get the water to the correct temperature. If you lay your steam iron in the horizontal position too quickly, water that is not hot enough to convert to steam will leak. Give the iron a chance to heat up, and then test your steam function on your ironing board cover or spare fabric swatch before tacking your favorite blouse.

4:Turn off the steam function on your iron when ironing at lower temperatures. Since your iron's steam function is designed to convert the water in your iron to steam at the right temperature, lower iron temperatures can cause water to leak if your steam setting is still activated. For ironing more delicate fabrics, turn off the steam to avoid water leaks.

PLEASE RATE !

the temperature is not set correctly for the fabric.
