To begin with, you should visually inspect the case for cracks, defects and melting traces of the case. Perhaps the appearance immediately and will show what exactly is the cause of the breakage of the iron. If the inspection did not give anything, you need to completely disassemble the body for self-diagnosis of all the constituent elements.
We draw your attention to the fact that dismantling the iron is sometimes quite difficult. This is due to the fact that manufacturers every year devote more time to the design of the electrical appliance, creating invisible locks and holes for the screws. Initially prepare a set of screwdrivers and a knife that will be useful to you for further action.
- Power cord
- Temperature controller
- Thermal fuse
- Heating element
mains cord One of the main faults of the iron is the power cord, which you actually insert into the socket. 
Reach the connection point of the contacts to the heating element and if there are no visible faults, use a tester to call the cord to determine its operability. 
You can use self-made monitoring for a call, consisting of a piece of wire, a battery and a light bulb. If the light is on when connecting the contacts to both ends of the cord, go ahead.
In case the power cord is the cause of the breakdown, you can try to shorten it by 10-15 cm( possibly the problem area will be removed).Does not the iron work anyway? We replace the cord with a new one!
Temperature controller
The second is the thermostat. We also check it with the help of a dial, which we attach to the contact group.
When the temperature controller is scrolled to the side of the circuit, the electrical circuit must function. The light bulb does not light? We clean the contacts with sandpaper and check again. Immediately recommend that you view the video repair manual:
The thermostat is working, but the iron does not heat up? Let's start checking the thermal fuse!
Thermal fuse
More often than a power cord, this circuit element fails. Its main purpose is to disconnect the electrical circuit if the temperature of the TETA exceeds the nominal value. 
Using a dial, we determine the operability of the fuse. If the cause of the breakage of the iron in it, replace it with a new one, or even remove it from the circuit. With the normal operation of the temperature regulator in the fuse, there is no need.
Heating element( TEN)
Well, the last reason why the iron does not work is the failure of the TEN.If the technique turns on, the light is on, but the sole does not heat up to the desired temperature, most likely it is this. As in the previous cases, using the homemade tester, we determine the operability of the product. The heating element is fixed to the sole and if the fixing point is all-in-one, then most likely you will have to say goodbye to the purchase( if the reason is in it).
If the heater is connected to the sole with the help of handpieces, you can try to repair the iron yourself, by sanding the contacts with sandpaper. It still does not heat up? We send the equipment for disposal, tk. The new part costs almost the full cost of the device!
We draw your attention to the fact that if you throw out the equipment for garbage, the power cord will be properly disconnected and kept for yourself. Perhaps, this element is useful to you in subsequent repairs, the more space it will not take in the closet!
Steaming system
If the problem lies in the fact that the steam iron does not work, then most likely it is necessary to clean the internal cavities of vaporization. To do this, we recommend you use a solution of water and vinegar in a ratio of 1 liter to 1 glass. We set the sole in the container( as shown in the picture), bring the water on the stove to a boil, turn it off and wait until it cools down. After this, repeat the event 3 more times, which is quite enough for a qualitative cleaning of the atomizer.
In shops you can see special means for descaling, but we do not recommend using them. This is due to the high cost of funds and at the same time, low efficiency, compared with the popular way! It should also be noted that there is a lot of negative feedback on thematic forums about the fact that the iron does not work after cleaning with salt. This is due to the fact that the crystals of salt clog the holes for steam, resulting in a thorough cleaning of the sole.
Another reason why the sprinkler does not work is that the steam feed button has broken. It can also be called by the tester and replaced, if necessary.
That's the whole manual for repairing your iron yourself. As you can see, the event is quite simple and even an electrician-novice can do it! Finally I would like to note that if the red indicator on the case flashes, do not panic, becausethis may indicate a certain operating mode or automatic shutdown after heating. Read the instructions that come with the kit to understand the cause of the blinking.
