Broken Swix Iron

Anyone know what to do when a Swix iron ($100 pre-2004 model) does not
produce any heat. I have TWO of these irons in which the green light
is on all of the time, no matter what setting the temperature control
dial is set on. When I plug my iron in, the first indicator light to
appear is the green light. Never red/blinking red.

Both irons were working, and both stopped producing heat halfway
through a wax application.

Thanks.
Fred

How old are the irons? What model?

Freddy,

My Toko blew up this year. I went to Finn Sisu and bought a new Swix
iron. I took the Toko apart and now have parts lying on the basement
floor.

Model: T7311
Both irons were purchased 3 years ago, but each have only been in use
for 1.5 seasons.

Thanks for any help that can be provided.

Wow those are almost brand new and only come with a 1 yr warranty.

Sounds coincidental that they both broke at the same time?

Perhaps a surge could have damaged some sort of fuse?

Maybe try to buzz out any of them if you can open them up and are inclined
to do so with a multimeter.

You might call Swix customer service and ask, or talk to Roger Knight at
the Birkie this week. If they can't fix them, they might be willing to
cut a deal on one sitting around. Two going bad seems unusual.

Freddy. Take the iron, and slam it down firmly on the flat ironing
surface of the iron. One firm slam, not more. Obviously don't go
crazy, but firm. It's an odd fix, and I'd call it a "Fonzy" fix, but I
think you're a little young for the "Happy Days" TV show.

The iron(s) should work after that. If not, contact Roger Knight.
