I am thinking you got a defective product because mine works perfectly with no gaps, etc.

Two things: check the little switch on the heel of the iron - it might have gotten turned off. Sometimes after a while they just stop working. Don't know why. I sent one of mine back to Oliso and they replaced it.

The best fix is the Linkage adjustment, but you stated you've tried that. Be sure to adjust as far as you can on the linkage. If this does not seem to fix it, try buying a new swashplate on eBay; they are cheap and easy to install. Good luck.

You should take apart and reassemble.. Those little silver tabs are very important and may not have a good connection. Try rubbing them down a little better

I've used mine well over 100 times and the metal prongs are still solid. Must be defective, I'd send it back

The board is pretty solid....my ironing board has not left any patterns on my clothes. Maybe you need to change the iron board covering.

The gap is set to my mfg spec. It is good practice to check the gap to your mfg spec.

I also have this problem with the soldering iron pencil, the plastic of the thread that holds and covers the tip and resistance was heated and expanded, now the thread does not fit well and be seen. My solution was to put aluminum foil around to get them to hold, I think it's a problem of material and workmanship, for the rest I have no problem.

Yes. It's clearly a design flaw. The steam trigger got stuck recently, and there is no way to get it unstuck. I used the iron occasionally for two years before running into the problem, but it easily could have happened sooner. I think it happened due to inadvertent contact with the top lock button while picking up the iron.

Check the screws in the hinge sometimes they are not in all the way or in at an angle which could cause this problem hope this helps

Your plates in the back may need cleaned the best the best thing to clean them with is the 50/50 ammonia and scrub with a soft brush. That works for mine try that and if that dont work you will need to replace them.

That is not normal, never happened on mine. Try and exchange it for another one asap.

I agree with the other answer, It is probably the warming plate- might want to call the manufacturer and get there advise or see if they could replace it for you.

Maybe the magnets are out of line. My cover hasn't ever given me any problems. Maybe you can exchange it for another one that works better. Good luck!

Sorry you are having issues... unlock the knob on the side, and push in the button on the other side when you slide it out. It actually should slide out either way. Many of these plates come with extra screws for your camera and generally they store them under the plate, usually screwed in. It's possible that maybe one of them loosened and is preventing your plate form coming out. Try turning over the whole thing and maybe that will create a gap to get your plate out. I have 4 of these, and at work we have another 6. I haven't had any issues, so hopefully this isn't a common problem. Hope that helps, good luck!

I had the same problem initially - the tension on the cables is a little too tight. After using it a few weeks, the tension slacked and the plates fit together just fine. This machine does require frequent adjustments and maintenance. Check the pins and bolts often.
