When I switch on the electric cuts out - Irons

Safety First: Before attempting any repairs, ensure the steamer is unplugged from the electrical outlet to prevent electric shock.

Access the Switch Relay Area:
Remove the water tank from the steamer.
Open the casing or access panel where the switch relay is located. This may involve removing screws or clips.
Inspect the Wires:
Look for any loose or disconnected wires near the switch relay.
If you find a wire that has come off, identify its original position.
Reconnect the Wire:
Strip a small portion of the wire insulation if needed.
Reattach the wire to the appropriate terminal on the switch relay.
Ensure it is securely fastened.
Test the Steamer:
Reassemble the casing or access panel.
Plug in the steamer and turn it on.
Check if the switch relay works properly.
Secure the Casing:
Once everything is in place, secure the casing back onto the steamer.

Remember to exercise caution while handling electrical components. If you're unsure or uncomfortable with the repair, consider seeking professional assistance or contacting Conair's customer service for guidance. CONAIR GS4 SERIES INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE Pdf Download ' ManualsLib

well ans 1 possible it could be a switch or connection problem need to analyse problem 2nd up to you if you want fix or just replace ---and blowing breaker makes it non operational

There are a few possible causes for your Tefal iron cutting out after about 10 minutes of use:

1. Overheating: The iron may be overheating and shutting off as a safety measure. This could be caused by a clogged steam vent or a malfunctioning heating element.
2. Electrical issues: The iron may be experiencing electrical issues, such as a faulty power cord or a problem with the outlet.
3. Water leaks: If the iron is leaking water, it could be causing the iron to shut off. Check for any visible leaks and make sure the water tank is properly sealed.
4. Malfunctioning thermostat: The iron's thermostat may be malfunctioning, causing it to shut off unexpectedly.

try to reduse the temperature setting first, if it still does the same then the thermal switch mechanism is not cutting off the switch at proper temperature
need to replace the thermal switch mechanism

Check the cord for any kinks or cuts before checking the cord connection to the appliance itself for loose or touching wires. What is decalc the iron ?

More than likely a wire has worn out inside from the constant heat of an iron. I would assume that it is time for a new one

Well you could, but the real question is would you want to ESPECIALLY with loved ones about. I would say no...the long cord is easily replaced and you can get here:

California Electric Service in Concord CA (it is the only Rowenta repair station in California) go to either of the following addresses:
their website is: http://www.californiaelectricservice.com/

Yes, if your electric cord was extremely hot to touch is not common. It's posing danger to your unit and to your entire electrical system that may cause fire. Please let a qualified electrician inspect and repair your unit. The unit thermal fuse may not functioning that automatically switch off or cut the electric power of your unit when it gets too hot. Thank you for asking.

if the wires aren't bare, wrap them in electrical tape. PLEASE RATE MY ANSWER.

I'm not familiar with your particular model , or Irons themselves.
So forgive me if im wrong ,
I think it could be a safety feature , to prevent accidents, so replacing the switch will most likely make no difference.

But if you still find yourself needing to Iron sideways , possibly whilst extreme bungee-jumping or entering the earth's outer atmosphere !! LoL sorry couldn't help myself there , you could try phyically bypassing the switch itself.

There would be two main ways to approach such a task, depending on the cut-out system utilized by the iron.

[u]Electrical diversion[/u]

Usually safety cut-out switches will interrupt the power of one polarity only, either positive or negative. especially where water is involved. This is easily bypassed by simply joining the matching 2 wires together either side of the switch to complete the circuit making the safety switch obsolete. There may be other wires for indicator lights ect which are better left alone for now.

[u]Mechanical diversion[/u]

The iron may utilize the water or other moving component to interrupt the power supply .Such as a water level indicator in a kettle, which is positioned to activate only when in sideways position. Again you could bypass the wires as above or bind the mechanism to prevent the movement being possible.

If it does use the water method , running the iron with no or low water in it may work...But there's probably a safety feature for that too....LoL

Anyways hope it helps you out a little
