eBay Joblot of FAULTY Steam Generator IRONS - Can I FIX Them?
In this trying to fix video I look at a job lot of expensive steam generator irons from eBay that were sent back as faulty. These are recent and current models and sell for approx. £200 each. Well worth fixing if they are indeed fixable???? Let's find out.
Remember that this is just for entertainment and I am not an expert in these repairs. The processes in the video may not be the best way, the correct way or the safest way to fix these things. I do love fault finding and trying to fix broken things, so I hope that comes across in these videos.
Many thanks, Vince.

Been having issues with fuel consumption and performance on my E93 2.0 recently- removed the sleeve on the air filter - better performance and fuel consumption- it’s optional for dusty areas - but it was suffocating my car - get it off

What about using something to remove the grease and replace the grease with sewing machine grease.
I was friends with people who had something like this but it seems like something happened they are no longer around.
It most certainly has been run over.
Some people are not very good when packaging things . Before I move to Ukraine I sold a huge amount of things but always made sure the packaging was good
Ironing PCB way tea towels would be well funny
Having read a significant portion of the comments, i note the word obsolescence is appearing; especially so where i live, the water is extremely hard, I wonder how many of these will goto to Landfill just because they haven't been descaled properly? Or seemingly because the same component is seemingly the source of the failure? I haven't owned or used an iron for the majority of my adult life. A very interesting video, like always, a great repair. but I'm not at all tempted to acquire an iron, anytime soon, except maybe for use as a means flatten instruction manuals or box art covers, for my retro video games collection, and probably a dry iron would suffice, for that?
hey thank you for this video - even though you did not suggest we could fix some of these issues i appreciate your thorough examination of the problem. Annoying that apple would allow such a high priced keyboard to be such a dud for so many of us after a ridiculously short period of use. Anyway - thanks for sharing.
Great fixes Vince! Have you not learned how to iron? 😉
Thank you so much
Another great repair video. Never seen irons like those in the USA. Best wishes from the USA!!
Thank you so much!!!
That enamelled wire is perfect for your vids that need tiny traces fixing. Good to keep in parts bin.
Too many ads to make enjoyable to watch. Didn’t bother going on any further.
Just wondering if your adjustable spanner was big enough there Vince? 😂😂
😂
Neither of these methods are working does anyone have advice ?
Awhile ago I fixed two of such irons for my wife, too. It was a known good German brand (AEG) and a discounter brand (from Lidl). They both had the same fault. The little waterpump had failed. Interestingly the more expensive AEG (about 150 €) and the discounter one (about 50 €) had the exactly same pump in it. The sparepart is about 45 €. So normaly it makes no sense to fix the Lidl one because of the price of the sparepart. Luckily I could fix both pumps and got both irons to work again (result! 😂). These moments are so satisfying. Carry on making such videos because they are so entertaining and educational (yes they are). Greetings from Germany. Thomas
Hi Vince. So really need an isolation transformer if you are working on mains powered stuff especially SMPS. Re. B&O phone, do you think a ringing converter/booster might help? One of those things that increased the REN of the line. I still have my BT combination screwdriver( black handle with an orange end) and use it all the time for DIY. I remember being a little disappointed at the time that it wasn’t a ratchet one, but was really useful up a pole because you didn’t need a belt pocket full of screwdrivers. I’m sure I still have some “ official “ bits somewhere. The name Maxpro rings a bell. Cheers.
When a solenoid is first energized, its coil receives a high inrush current that decreases as the plunger closes. If the plunger does not close/open, the high inrush current continues, causing the coil to overheat and potentially burn out. This is the most common cause of solenoid failure. Overheating can also occur if the ambient temperature is too high, reducing the coil's ability to dissipate heat, or if the solenoid cycles too fast, allowing heat to build up faster than it can be dissipated.

Congrats Vince. I remember when this started and before - pretty amazing to see the end 2 years later... I hope you get the project vehicle you want for next series, but request for an old toy fix/restore video for old time's sake in the interim? Always liked those videos from you when you took a break and went more lo-fi and vintage to see what you could fix there.
when you say a samsung 4K TV, do you mean an external monitor, the type we use for our macbook pro laptops as a secondary display?

Excellent video Vince! I really enjoyed it. You can tell that the white ones are far much better quality than the purple but it also goes to show that design and ergonomics are sometimes as important or even more important like in this case
the red one might be a modified version, to prevent the them failing like the black ones have been
Hi Vince that solenoid is more common fault by every steam generat , philips , seb, rowenta , calor and . Also pump goes defect for descale the iron put water in boiler turn it op side down. Put water in l sink bodem put the iron floating on water push the steam button. That gets the brown /scale out the iron.
Fantastic video ....loved the drama of it all
This is 1 hour
maybe a video on a water distiller
it has to fail safe maybe a safety release
Why do you keep calling it a steam generator? It's a valve!

It's Margot isn't it from old TV show the Good Life?
@@jason7741 oh yeah sorry my bad
YOU fixed it your a ireon man
Had the very same issue Thanks
52:40 the pipe for the big coil thing looks like it is removable without screwing it out of the tank
32:35 that kink may have gotten stuck in the assembly stage after the test phase i think i see copper :)
13:00 where the black cable meets the board looks iffy maybe it did brake there? Edit: i was wrong
That is FANTASTICALLY pointless, I love it 🙂
a steam powered joblot :)
good fixes. Saved the 3 from a landfill
Lol I thought my screen was frozen at 21:53 Great video. Like to see how you work things out.
Hi Vince. Great video as usual. I can confirm that the brass fitting that goes into the boiler from the solenoid is threaded. That red compound is probably thread sealant (available at toolstation, screwfix) so even that should be possible to rerpair
Thank you bitter truth 👍👍👍
Ive got an iron from the 1920s and it still works , just put it on the stove for 10min and off you go💨💨 👍
Interesting video Plus enter the Ironing Queen 😁
To seal threaded pipes from leaks, most people use a thread sealant like locktite or pipe thread compound. As pressure build's up the thread's arent enough to hold pressure
Oh dear, cutting the solenoid open with a Dremel while holding it in hand without gloves 😰 Great fixes though 😃
