I have a brand new Shark G1490. When I plug it the light turns on, but it does not get hot and besides this brown water comes out. what should I do? please help me.

no parts like that are not a stock item
for the price , junk it and get a new one

I had the same problem. The repair took less than 15 min. I opened the bottom of the iron and discovered what appears to be a design flaw on the cord holder/fastener. The holder is wedged so tight that it pinched the cord wire almost in half. I removed the cord, cut it off at the pinched spot and reinstalled. I also put a small piece of rubber onto the part of the holder that is made onto the body of the iron. In addition, I rotated the fastener cap so that the smooth side of it is against the cord.

Hi,

Here is a tip that will help you to troubleshoot your iron and figure out what is wrong with it.

Electric Iron not Heating Up or not Working Right

Sounds like a damaged cable? It may be cheaper to buy a new one from wallmart or similar store.

if lights are coming on its either the wire that send power to the heating element or the element itself

make sure you do a self clean as often as possible to remove debris and scale from iron

your heating coil probally went bad its alot cheaper tp just buy a new iron

circuit board has shorted out that control iron functions or power wire lead has broke off inside of iron

send me manual on iron g1490

Our G1490 quit after one year. Just won't come on. Period. I can't get it to open after removing the back screws either.
