Repair time

In these Rowenta iron models, there is a main part that includes the circuit, its housings, the inlet valve to the boiler and the pump, therefore, the repair to be performed is the replacement of the circuit set.

We identify that the fault comes from this part when at first the ironing center works properly, but as the minutes pass, little by little, it stops steaming. The boiler recharges at first, but the water pump is not activated again, and, therefore, the amount of steam is "fading"

.

Once you have checked the fault, unplug the appliance and ... Let's get started with the steps to repair your Rowenta iron right away!

Dismantling

(All these steps)

* To carry out this repair, it is highly recommended that the appliance has cooled down, so as not to suffer burns when handling the boiler or steam leakage occurs.

  • Remove the screws from the lower housing of the iron (turn the ironing center upside down and remove the screws with the torx 20)
    • .
  • Separate the iron cover-support from the rest of the ironing center's boiler housing. With a large flat screwdriver, pry the two white tabs (once disassembled) in the central part of the appliance housing.

Assembly

.

As you place the circuit, you will notice that the tubes and connectors, go  clearly to their position, as they were placed before, anyway, if you have not photographed the process and  have any doubt, you can see the step by step assembly in our YouTube videos.

  • Connect connector from the boiler to the circuit.
  • Connect the connector from the boiler to the circuit.
  • Connect the solenoid valve cable
  • .
  • Place the iron connector in its location on the rear casing of the circuit and attach the corresponding electrical connector and the ground wire.
  • Connect the plate tubing to the solenoid valve and attach the corresponding clamp with the pliers.
  • Place the water inlet pipe on the boiler inlet. The old clamp can not be used again, so we will secure it with the two nylon clamps (cut off the excess part of the flanges).
  • Place the water inlet pipe back on the boiler inlet.
  • Replace the lower housing of the appliance.

* It is advisable to check at this point that the operation of the ironing center is correct, to see if the fault has been resolved. In this way, if the iron presents any other problem, we will be able to access the inside of the boiler easily, without having to disassemble it again

    • Screw the screws

  • Put on the plate cover-support (place the front tab and then snap it on, the tabs will keep it closed).
