Why is my STEAM IRON LEAKING BROWN WATER ? - I'll Show You What Happens Inside an Iron. 

My iron had massive rust flakes come out and rust water. I used water/vinegar a few times until it was clear but now there’s more rust flakes so it’s soaking upside down now. This video was helpful.

Very informative, I would never of imagined that there could be so much rust inside an iron! Very helpful, I’ll carry out your checks now, thank you 👍😀

Superbly presented, thank you. Recited as if Shakespeare. Question: Why are the screws not plastic or some aluminun or of some design or material to avoid this banal and ruinous problem? Is there an iron made with different screws?

This is what I’ve been looking for ! ❤ old lady from up north 😂

Your video was helpful, very helpful! Thank you! I wish you had posted a video following the one showing how to take your iron apart with a video showing how to put it back together.

I only used my iron twice and it started to do this!! Brand new

Fancy using screws that rust on a steam iron, thanks for this, going to by a new iron, cant do all that.

Oh my,thanks for the visual, that explains my problem

Thanks for showing us what's going on.

Not something i will ever do but still intresting

I can't ever get them back together again

hi how would you go about repairing a damaged cord on this model?

I would give up after the 125th screw

What if there is brown water coming when youvturn vertical

Thanks man. Guess I'm buying a new iron. :(

Spraying water through the sole plate is not something that you can do safely for a long time, since it seems to be difficult to keep water and steel, even live electrics, apart. Maybe the answer for longevity is to go back to using a plain hot iron and a wet sponge or towel.

This has to be a send up! Who is ever going to re-assemble this iron? If I get rid of the rust the iron will never go back together anyway. I’m off to buy a new iron. Thanks anyway.

Really helpful video thank you

I put drinking water in my iron and all the minerals from the spring water gunked my iron up and now it’s broken, I have to spend more money 💰 on a new iron

Very helpful!

Irons have a lifespan of only several years give or take a year. Best to spend $50 and get a new one. Unfortunately products are made for obsolescence... for the avg person your repair tutorial is not feasible.

Thanks it helps a lot

Thanks

Thanks.... wow... I will never buy a Breville or any other cheap plastic Chinese-made iron. Shame on them! I own an old Rowenta Professional Model DX8860. The Farmhouse (from Container Store) brand new ironing board cover treated with soil-release and water-repellent finishes ended up melting on my inox soleplate which started my problems! Dritz hot iron cleaner seemed to make it all worse!!! Now the soleplate is scratched and brown (ditto for around the edge of the soleplate). I found your video by googling brown scratches and rust around iron soleplate. Even the more expensive older irons have problems and are cheap Chinese handiwork. Time for a new iron... but I do not trust ANY of them!

Yeah thanks but I'll just buy a new one!

What you said solution will tell but nothing

Use distilled water

Too much work , just buy a new one !

Just get a new one if you have to dismantle your iron. Impossible for us to do it. Not everyone is a household engineer

I think I'll just buy a new one

Its quicker to buy a new iron 🤭

Too much of work

So iron company so useless they can't make iron coating to prevent roast? So sad

Sorry but , Music's so loud and unnecessary !
