I have a Singer MSP 7 ironing press and can no longer open the top. Has anyone had this experience and what was the solution or cause?
On the Singer website, they have a troubleshooting guide they have posted online. One of the questions they gave the answer to was the top will no longer open. Here is their response to your problem and this is what they said to do "Locking knob is in locked position - turn locking knob to open. Locking lever stiff - Slightly move the handle up and down while turning the locking lever." Here is the link and the answers to how to repair this unit that Singer has posted. www.singermachines.co.uk/
It appears that the locking handle release latch is not moving freely. You can try and get a small knife or screwdriver in there to see if you can pop the release on this piece. If you can do this then you can try and put a little oil on the latch to see if it will move freely again.
I would like to know if there is a company near Hattiesburg, Mississippi that repairs steam presses. I have a China Feiyue Family 1600W Steam Press.
This what I could find. Machine is under warranty for one year.
Do you have any of the original paperwork? Sometimes these machines have a number to call for service stamped somewhere on the machine.
Maybe one of these are close to you and can service the steam press: Always call first just in case they do or do not work on these but since it may be an unfamiliar brand they may have to see it.

Or you can always try Sears Service Center for help - always call first:

I have a 2 year old Singer Steam Press ESP-2. It will not open up. I press it down, heard a snap and now it will not budge.
The release button has broken on the inside of the machine. The latch has cracked and now a piece of plastic is in the place where it opens.
I am not getting steam on my Aria 350sp. Does anyone know a fix for this?
The first question would be how old is your machine?
Is it still under warranty?
Did you purchase an extended warranty?
If your answer is yes to any of the above then that is who you need to contact before doing anything else.
You can contact the company but most likely they will direct you to a dealer in your area as they will have contracts and usually the agreement is to send people to the dealer/seller.

This steam press is not working properly, due to water dripping from steam holes. I checked everything and know it needs descaling. How do I do that?
You will descale the machine just like you would descale a steam iron. The best way to do this is to mix 3/4 cup of water with 1/4 cup of vinegar and pour this in the machine. Turn it on for around 5 minutes on the highest heat. Now you will take any cloth that you want and stream press this for a few minutes.
My Simplicity Digital Press Model SSP400 will not get up to temperature to press anything. It keeps given me an error message. Does anyone know where I can get the item repaired or how to get parts?
This 34" digital quick press pro is discontinued.
I can't find anyone who actually repairs these steam presses. However, I did find a phone number you can call. They might be able to answer your question and tell you where to take your digital press for repair. The number is 800-401-8151
My steam press is pouring out water instead of steam? Can anybody please advise? Where can you get these repaired?
With thanks.
I was trying to clean my presser and was trying to take the screws off where the the steam comes out. I'm stuck because I can't take the 1 screw out in the back of the press.
I would like to know if there's somewhere I can take it like a repair shop to put it back together?There really are no repair shops for irons. You could look for a private handyman to do it. It would not cost much. Look in the yellow pages of your phone book.
I have a steam press, but it is not producing any steam. It does not have a steam button on it, all there is, is the temperature dial.
It does not have a manual as it was given to me. I do not know if it could be limescale and if it is how do I clean it?I'm not sure what model you have but I have not seen a manual for a Hinari - it is possible another make of steam press will be similar. I have an older Singer and my steam button is on the handle but it has to be on cotton (hot) for steam to work.
I cannot remove my water tank so I just run vinegar through it keep it clean and just use distilled water.
Have you been able to remove you water tank? If so, maybe a good cleaning would help. If you cannot locate a steam button then try the setting on high and see if that helps.
I do not know where you live but I found some Hinari steam presses for sale on eBay in the UK. Take a look at the listings and if any one of them looks similar to yours then go on the site and find the "ask seller a question" and send them a message and ask if they could look at the machine and maybe help you. Most sellers are nice and may be able to help you.
Does the plate have holes? Does it have a container to fill it with water? If yes, then it has steam but without a button. Otherwise, it's not a steam press. Just a press.
I have been given a home steam ironing press, but no instructions. It seems self explanatory, but I can't get any steam. Any ideas?

It requires a pinch or 1/8 tsp. of salt to make it steam.
