My new rowenta effective iron is not working as it should. It doesn't heat when a light on the side is not on. My book says this light is a water indicator but I think it is a sensor of some kind. I have shaken iron , added water turned fabric dial up pluged and repluged to get it on. It has taken me as long as 5 miniutes to get it on. I don.t like it at all.

After plugging in the iron and turning on the steamer, it doesn't seem to heat and water leaks from the bottom of the iron. The iron is not cold to the touch but you can place your hand on it for a long time without it burning you. The red indicator light is on so I know that power is getting to it.
The iron will not turn on. It is warm to touch, but does not get hot. I left it on and I think it turned off and will now NOT go back on but honestly, I do not know if it heated to begin with. Thank you.
lndicator light comes on, but it will not heat up
