I owned Rowenta 8430 (14 months ) and is now leaking, can this be fixed & is it fire hazard if I continue using it ?

Not sure but keep me posted. I hope it doesn't happen to me. After a large investment I will hate for it to happen. Call the company

Yes, it will shut off, but I don't recommend this iron. Please check the reviews. I am not the only person who has had problems with this iron leaking water when it gets hot. There is a serious design flaw with the Rowenta irons. I really loved the iron before it developed a water leak.

We have no leaking at all from this iron, having had it for quite a long time now. Don't know how long you have had yours, but they are warranted for 1 year.

Make sure the threads are not rusted...this could lead to a dangerous leak!

I am sorry to say i have no idea as i can not find anyway to contact them other then either going to or mailing this iron to one of the service centers. I would not recommend this iron to any one. I was 3 months later on retiring and that put me out of the time i could return the iron to Amazon. This iron from day one leaked water spit water all the time it was turned on takes forever to get hot and is not what it is advertized as. I had a Rowenta for 10 years that was perfect but a switch went out. I am searching locally to get that fized as i have no intentions of sending that one to them. This iron is probably going in the garbage as that appears to be the only way to "fix" it. Am sorry for this rant but makes me super mad everytime i see it. If you should find a way to contact them would appreciate you letting me know. IF you want a good iron try a Black and Decker

Thanks for the info.Mine just stared leaking.It is nice looking, but it is a cheap piece of garbage. The hour on the clock changes whenever, also. B&D; used to make quality products-what happened?

I had the exact same issue with mine. Make sure the quick disconnect is seated properly and the hoses aren't kinked. Also, taking out some of the sponges helps a little and increases the flow. That worked for me for a little bit. I eventually filed a warranty claim and within a few days API had sent me a brand new one and it has never leaked. You may need to do the same.

I was told by my doctor that I should replace it at least once a year not only due to possible bacteria but the plate on the bottom connects to the heater plate in your machine and it can cause the one in your machine to burn up (own experience) also your insurance company should provide 1 free per year but I keep extras just in case. These are better than the ones I get from the supply company!

we've had the same issue on rare occassion. I have no idea why it is leaking and we have also checked it, cleaned it, etc. it seems to be more of an issue when it is overly full.

No.. I have had my for a long while now.. and it never leaked.. you may want to call the company.. it sounds like you left something off while you were installing it.

maybe it has different threads? or is it leaking?if it's just leaking use Teflon tape. if it's the threads, home depot might have thread adapters.

Contact Rowenta customer service. They were very helpful in assisting me with my defective product.

I had a competitor Rowenta and the same thing happened. I contacted the company and they sent me a replacement. I would contact DeLonghi and ask.

I returned my D6000 because it leaked and after having it for just a month or so it completely just stopped on me. It wouldn't heat up any more. Maybe just a single item malfunction, but it was very frustrating. I now have a Rowenta dw 2070 and I love it.

Mine sprung a leak the third time I used it. I emailed them and they gave me a full refund without the need to return it. Hope this helps.

Yes me too. Leaking just off centerline. Just outside warranty period. Will probably buy another. Why? Good question. Have you looked at the ratings of all the makes of printer. They are all bad!! If you have $1000s then buy the famous "X" brand. If not just plan to replace your printer every year or so. What can you do??
