My oreck cord-free is a JP8100c series. I have had this iron for years and really like it. just recently it will heat for a second or so than the light goes off, I tried holding the reset button and I can hear a little sound like something trying to reset. I did get it hot enough to do the little ironing I needed to do, and I need this fixed or a new iron

SOURCE: my oreck iron does not heat up

Looked at several solutions, I think your best bet is to copy and paste this link below into your browser. It is a manual for your oreck iron. There is a number for support for your product.

SOURCE: I have described my problem repeatedly. Again -

Ok whenever an iron stops heating it is either the Thermal Fuse,or the Element or the actual temperature control. One would have to use a meter to check the Voltage at the element of the iron. & Test the Thermal Fuse.
Also though with Cordless irons it may simply be that your batteries aren't working as they should. They can quickly be ruined if not charged correctly.
I do NOT think, that this is a job for a home repair due to the added complexity that the batteries add.
You need to take it to a professional repair center and ask for a "Quote" before allowing any repairs to proceed. As the cost of repair may exceed the cost of a new one.
