Hi My iron seems to auto shut off in 2 secs when I plug in the power, it shows the red light for a sec and off, what could be the issues.

    Unfortuantely it is not under warranty !

    Well I hate throwing appliances for small parts that fail which in reality should be fixed / replaced.
    It is a envirinmental waste.

    Can I replace the thermostat at home ? Any tips on how to do it ?

How old is it?
Is it still under warrenty? if it is take it back to where you bought it.

Otherwise it sounds like the thermostat is broken. Wallmart has some very nice cheap irons.

Premature shutting off

Have you try with lower heat setting?
It seems like it might be thermostat or thermal fuse that is not working properly.

I have rowenta DB5080 iron and if I walk away for one minute it shuts down. Also it doesn't seem to retain its heat level for extended p eriods of time.

They are built to shut off after about 30 sec or so if the iron is not moving and the iron is in pressing position (sole plate down). They shut off if they are not moving and standing with the sole plate vertical, in about 5 minutes. If you move the iron (like ironing) they reheat. If it doing something else the electronic control is defective. It is cheaper to replace than repair.

Red light keeps blinking and iron shuts off

Sounds as if the cable may be damaged or a loose connection. May be cheaper to buy a new one from wallmart or similar store.

I'm having a problem with the auto shut off of my sunbeam 421A series iron. The iron works great until the auto shut off comes on and the red light starts blinking. I understand that the iron should...

Unless you have a 5 or 6 hundred dollar iron, or unless it is brand new, and still under warranty, there is an excellent rule of thumb when an iron quits working: Buy a new one! These days, irons can be purchased cheaply enough that it is WELL worth the money. Not just for the convenience, but for the safety issues. This is an appliance that could burn your house down even if it's in PROPER working order. Hope this helps!!

Premature shutting off

Hi have a nice day! Ensure that the unit is tightly plugged into a working outlet.
Some units are equipped with our patented Motion Smart Auto Off technology. Moving the iron will cause it to begin to reheat.
