My Oreck iron suddenly quit heating at all. It is still getting power (the red power light comes on when it is plugged in). Any ideas on what to do?

Mine did the same thing. I searched the internet for anotber one. Best iron ever.

Clear Value Deals: Could be a faulty iron. I received my iron and it works perfectly fine. The feet should only retract when you grab and release the handle while plugged in. Hope this was helpful. www.shop.clearvaluedeals.com

Your heater is broken. This happened to me as well. I've gone through a lot of steam cleaners, but this had the shortest life span.

Do you hear the motor speed drop as well? And are you running the hot air rework at the same time. It did it to me the other night I had the iron, rework wand, and the smoke absorber on all at the same time. And when the heating element kicked in my air would drop. Then come back when the iron turned off, then start again when the iron needed to heat. Did you remove the red plug from the bottom? And if that fails crack it open and see if any lines are loose, or cracked. If all else fails write me back and I'll help ya more if I can.-patrick

In the instruction booklet on page 5, it explains the "Automatic electronic 3-position shut-off" Bottom line is if you leave it on its heel plugged in, the light will flash after 8 minutes then shut off. I tried it and it worked. If the iron is moved again, it starts reheating. My advice pull the plug like I do.

Mine has stopped putting out heat. The light is on and I can't find the manual and don't remember what buttons I am to push. Does anyone have the directions for use that can send them to me? Thanks S

Yeah had the same issue. Headed up with in 10 mins of use. The manual does mention not to use it for prolonged periods though. Mine didn't last too long after it started heating up

I recently bought this iron and after several hours of usage, the clean message came on. I followed the instructions, but the clean message would not go out. What's up?

There must be something wrong with the foot-raising mechanism, or maybe you have a puffy/fluffy ironing board (?). But if the first, take it back, get a refund. The one I had almost set fire to the ironing board in it's down position, when the thermostat didn't turn it off - luckily my dog smelled burning and warned me ! Hope you resolve the matter.

mine too, and it doesn't keep heating, it just stops but the fan keeps running so you think it's working, then look at your food and its not cooking any more. mine is getting tossed, worst product I've bought in years.

I had mine plugged in for a few months - only using it occasionally - and one night when I wasn't using it, started flashing red in the middle of the night - it didn't turn the heat on while it did this. It didn't stop when I used the control so I unplugged it and replugged it in and it's been fine. Nothing in the manual about that. If it does it again I will call the manufacture.

Just reset the button to re-heat a 2nd time. But be careful. It gets really toast. ;)

No zots? No light? No heat? Sounds BROKE to me! Really, take it back where you bought it and replace it or get your money back. Mine lights up when I push the on button and heats up immediately.

I no longer have this iron. It just quit working one day about a year after I bought it and Oreck basically said too bad so sad! I now use a Rowenta and it is a SUPER iron!

Clean the burner mechanism with rag and water where the flame comes from.that clogs,and affects the built in thermostat and causes it to do that.if that don't work then u need a new one

Nope I left it on or a while after 50 minutes it was still on I unplugged it. That's what u have to do so u can be sure n remember u turned it off UNPLUG IT I personally think it should shut off after ten minutes of not using it. Now there where several of this type n color flat iron for different prices on amazon so I don't know if the others have automatic shut off they all looked the same to me
