Conair steam unit says it is ready to steam but when press on button on head it does not go on

It probably does not have a reset button. It is defective. Just return the item back to the store for a new replacement or refund.

I had this for over 3 years stored as it would not produce steam. I was going to toss it and decided to see what the issue was. I am a fireman and familiar with pump mechanisms. I disassembled the unit and found that the check valve was incorrectly installed in the plastic pump device which draws water up from the reservoir and distributes it to the heat pan. Once I corrected it the machine makes steam and does a very good job of pressing. It is awkward to use for larger items and I am trying to figure out better ways to properly press shirts, etc.

Customer Reviews: Conair Extreme Steam Fabric Steamer ...

Thermistor is probably damaged, and the machine does not identify that the steam is ready (max temperature was reached) and pressing the steam button wont do anything. Change the thermistor (should be carried out by professional technician).

Hi.

The iron steam lines may be clogged with limescale.

Try first using descaling solution to clean the lines.
Do descaling several times.

If that does not work, then the thermostat may have started malfunctioning and cutting off earlier than normal. This will cause water not getting enough temperature, and iron not steaming.

Try using a descaler product, often that can fix the problem.

contact your local dealer and ask them for a replacement manual

I had same issue , now , once you turn the unit on , you should see displayed 3 steam jets and the flashing standby , turn the dial on the iron to max ,press the steam button on the machine to max steam , leave for a minute or so , now press the steam button on the iron , does it make a noise ? if it does , slightly raise the whole front end of the unit ( easier if you have the iron on the worktop and not on the unit !) for a minute then try and press the steam button on the iron again . I think there is a bit of an issue about the conection between the water tank and the filter . This solved my issues and i do hope it will help you .

If you need instructions go to www.HandBookLive.com. There are videos for GS4 and GS10 under Appliances category. It says that steam is produced in about 5-6 minutes after you turn power on. Also there is a low water indicator light on GS10 that kills power to teh unit if the water level is low. Maybe that's the problem... Not sure if sc20 is similar
