From a home steam iron that's stopped producing steam to a hotel laundry's ironing system, FETSCO repairs steam irons, ironing centres and pressing equipment.
Common Steam Iron & Ironing System problems we fix
Common issue
Iron not producing steam
Likely cause: Limescale blocking the steam vents, or a failed steam pump/boiler on ironing-system units.
How we fix it — We descale the unit fully and test the steam pump or boiler, replacing whichever component has failed.
Common issue
Water leaking from the soleplate
Likely cause: A cracked water tank, a faulty steam valve, or condensation from an overfilled tank.
How we fix it — We identify the specific leak source and repair or replace the part at fault.
Common issue
Soleplate not heating
Likely cause: A failed heating element or thermostat.
How we fix it — We test and replace the element or thermostat as needed.
Common issue
Brown/dirty water staining fabric
Likely cause: Mineral (limescale) build-up inside the tank and steam chamber.
How we fix it — We carry out a full descale and flush of the internal system.
