I followed 3 simple steps to start but status light is red. It means iron is off. Why? It worked well for only a month.

Mine worked for 11 whole months. Plastic junk. I have several vintage irons from that auction site that still work after 50 or 60 years!

The first one I purchased did the same thing. I sent it back and exchanged it for a new one. The new one has been working fine for over 4 years. Would suggest that you exchange it.

Mine went "Ka-Flooey" after a few uses. Just kept going up and down, up and down.....I contacted Amazon and my money was refunded. They told me not to send the iron back. I really wanted to get a good Oliso iron. My first one leaked and the "back leg" still drags. That one did not come from Amazon, unfortunately.

Mine worked only for a month or two, and the thermostat went on the fritz, so instead of turning off with legs down, it stayed on. Lucky my dog smelled the burning, or could have been a problem! I threw it out and haven't bothered with another. Sending it back wasn't an option for as I am in Bermuda. I see the other answer said it was sent back and the new one has been working for 4 years! Shame, cute idea, though the little scraping noise of the legs going in and out drove me crazy!!

Sounds like a loose wire. I did have another brand of led side marker light that did that. After I tried everything I reversed polarity and it worked. Just a though if you haven't found the cause.

My first one had the same problem as yours. Red light on all the time, and froze! I returned it and bought another one hoping it was a defective piece.... My second one start to show signs of defective also! and this one I can't return b/c past return period. DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT is my recommendation.

My unit was stuck on red and I disconnected the LED wires and powered the controller up with no lights attached. I then turned it off and reconnected the wires and got it out of the red mode. My unit is now stuck on the color changing cycle. I can't figure out if it's the remote or the controller causing the issue. I have given up and ordered a different LED RGB controller.

Not entirely sure myself (I can't find the blasted manual). My first guess would be the indicator is reading above its max range. I'd suggest rinsing off the metal tip in case there's something encrusted on it. Also, if it's looking rusty it might be time to replace it. Another possibility is the battery is low though I figure it'll just stop working or the display will be faint.

I wish I could help you. I was happy at first bit since it hasn't worked properly.. It keeps going red like there is something bad in air but it won't stop. I have gone to several shops to help but no one knows how to fix it. I have since been looking for a new one.

I agree with some of the other posts. If the red pin turns the lights on. I would pull out the black pin, make sure it is not damaged or defective. If not, Move it to the next slot and see if it works and turns the lights off. If it is defective, replace the pin. I beleive the ML88T 988 watt timer came with two red and two black pins. Replace it and you should see your lights turn on and "OFF".

I had this issue before, and when asked a friend who had installed he same wire he said his does the same, however, and after 4 months my wire gave out and stopped working... when i got the replacement, the red (alert) light stayed off and only the green light is on unless there is a real alert.So I am not 100% sure if it is defective, but the red light should come on only when there is an alert.

J, I don't know your red light started blinking continuously. Mine would only blink once, then nothing.

I wouldn't worry about it. My LED has been red since day one. Haven't had a bit of trouble with it. Enjoy!

I had the same problem. I noticed a small drip stain on the LED cover. Cleaned it with a little Windex on a rag. Now works perfectly.

That's what I wondered too, if it needed to "warm up" first, or be in an extra-dark room. You may have a faulty one too like me. I had to tap on it near the bottom & turn it upside down & hold it it at an angle to get it to light up-not what you should do to make it work! Email Amazon & they'll fwd it to Scientifics & they should email you back w/phone #. I called them today & they said Fedex would pick it up next day & send me another one. So hope next one works! Good luck with yours! :)

The light on top was alternating red/green. I thought it might mean the batteries, but I checked & they are fully charged.Now, I can't get it to work at all, no lights, no pump, nothing...yes, the batteries are installed correctly. Any ideas?

The red lights stopped working after 2 weeks. Need to see if I can return it. Almost shows signs of rust too.

Return the item. I had the same issue with the light I purchased or call Amazon.

Sounds like it may be defective, mine has a faint light when it is working. Check to see if files are transferring.

When mine flashed red and green that meant the battery was bad. I changed the battery and it works great now. If your battery was run down several time then it could have damaged the battery. You'll have to get a new battery.
