Re: How to open the back of iron. Has an irregular screw
These screws take a star tip screw driver to remove. My 6 month old Rowenta's switch quit. You can buy the star screw driver at any good hardware store or auto place.

the best way is to use the little screwdriver for to open with the help of some plier. Or use the tools for open the back light in car, is the same type .God bless you
look under the manufacturers stickers normally the screws are well hidden, but at the back of iron underneath there are normally two screws and a third that is in the handle once you remove the backplate
It is probably a loose screw (if you shake the iron, you may hear it rattle).. The iron is most likely good, just needs a 5 minute repair.
If you want to do it, or find someone to do it:
1. UNPLUG the iron.
2. remove the 4 screws from the back end of the iron.
3. Open the back plastic plate.
4. There will be a wire with a loose screw; tighten it.
5. There may be a broken wire near the screw; if so, remove the eyelet that is on the screw. put the screw back on and wrap the broken wire end onto the screw and tighten.
6. Replace the back plate.
7. Plug back in and use for a few more years.
First of all, remove the temperature knob. Than remove the temperature indicator (it's like a little disc). Theres a hidden screw under the temperature indicator! Remove that screw and continue with your fixes.
