My mega stem press iron has stopped heating half way through my ironing. I've turned it off and on again but it didn't heat up. Can the thermostat break? The lights are all coming on, but it does not heat. I am devastated cos it cost so much and I am totally converted to steam presses now. Please help someone. Any suggestions?

My presser is locked shut and I am unable to open it. Could someone please tell me how I can open it? I am sure that something broke inside the knob where you lock and unlock it.

The heat will come on and heat up for all settings, but after the yellow light comes on a very little time passes until the power will shut down. This has happened on the lowest setting to the highest setting. By opening the presser and closing it again the cycle will start again.

I have a Magic Steam Press 7, we changed out the circuit board. Now when opening it up to use it, you have to press down on the top left side to open it as it seems to be jamming up for some reason. Anyone have any solutions?

I am trying to repair a Singer Magic Steam Press 7. I have noticed that the on/off switch is not working right. The electricity is running through to make the light turn on, but the iron won't heat up. Where can I buy a replacement on/of switch (P/N 28408400) for a Singer Magic Steam Press 7 that I am trying to repair?

I have a Magic Steam Press 7 - great machine, but it has just started to leak boiling water from the press when you lift it. This can be nasty if you have your hands underneath. Any clues as to how I fix this please?

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.

You should allow all the water to freely flow through the machine so that it gets all the deposits out of the vents. When you use these types of machines it is recommended that you use distilled water only and not tap water. Tap water will clog the machine and this is why you are having this issue right now.

I purchased an Elna Press Graffiti steam press about 2 yrs ago, it worked great. I can't imagine not having one since I discovered how handy they are. Well, last year (end of 2010) it just stopped powering on. I have been missing using it badly, a regular iron just isn't the same.

I replaced the plug because I thought it might be that but still no power. I unscrewed the casing and looked inside to see if I could notice any obvious sign of damage or whatever, but I really have no clue as to what each item should look like. Nothing I could visually see looked burnt out or anything, but I haven't tested anything else.

I can possibly get a hold of a voltage tester thing, but need to know what I may need to check out. I wish I knew of a cheap repair center locally, but have no idea how to search/find a small appliance repair center. I thought maybe I could try a hand at it myself.

Any thoughts or ideas of what may be wrong with my machine?

Thanks.

Let your fingers do the walking and start here it is in Nebraska but I Googled Elna press grafitti and got a bunch including your listing here, try it and ask questions. If you have the book it has a schematic in it of everything and where it is and some trouble shooting directions as well. Good luck.

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.

Have you tried contacting the company where you purchased your machine?
These are the people who will be familiar with this model and can walk you through getting it working again.

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.

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/.../steam-press-will-not-open.html

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. it seems that when you push the release button the latch (which normally is metal) seems to be stuck in the upright position and not moving downward or to the right or left to release the handle so you can open the machine up.
