How do i get the security light to switch off as it is on permantlely

f the iron heats but steams improperly, inspect the soleplate and clean the vents (see below) and flush sediment out of the steam chamber (see below).

If the iron produces too much or too little heat, test the electrical cord . Also test and, if needed, adjust calibration of the thermostat .

God bless you

If the iron doesn't heat, make sure power is on to the outlet,,test the outlet with desk lamp for to see if working. check the electrical cord, and check the thermostat + fuse inside replace if necessary.
God bless you

this has a water level sensor known as reed switch and works with magnetism

this sensor must have given up



Thanks

Hi,

Here is a tip that I wrote about Electric Irons and why they do not heat....

Electric Ironnot Heating Up or not Working Right heatman101

This is typical of a iron, it is cheaper to replace than to repair. The heating element is broken.

My Tefal Program 8 400 iron will not heat up. Light is on but nothing coming through. I has used it 10 mins before this happened

Switch light goes on when pressed but goes off if... OR iron does not heat at all even pressing the button to turn it on continually.
Don't understand which one question you are asking
But if there is no heat at all after switching it on, it needs to go to iron heaven but be sure to cut the plug of the end, Saftey reasons at the dump. BUT if lights are coming on the iron is working. the large dial on the water filler is temperature control. Turn this around to cotton or linen.
The light will come on and off while in use, it allows you to know that the iron has cooled and is going back to your select temperature( on the large dial)

Make sure that you use water in the iron as it will aid your ironing and make it quicker. Make sure that the iron temperature dial on the water filler is at the correct temperature for the item that you are ironing.
Hope this helps

i'm not quite sure what the STP security light is but on my iron a security light comes on when the iron is idle. It shuts the power to the iron when no movement has happened mine is about 5 mins.

element is shot,take it back or send it back for repair
